THE ESPLANADE.
Sir, —That plebe and parcel of land known as .the Stop-bank, extending from the Criterion bridge to Wharf Street, in its present condition cannot be termed an. esplanade. ' When the fftop-ba.nk was completed, in addition to serving its purpqie as a preventive against river water entering the town, the Beautifying Society planted a number of trees on the Paeroa Siidle of the river wfth a view to reserving it for a public walk. But what is it to-day ? The trees have withered and died, -and the bank itself ,i.s in mud. I mention this as a'borough concern in the hope, that one) of twq things may be done, namely, either metal it or prohibit horse an’dl vehicular traffic .thereon, if the latter course is adopted! I thiqk the; esplanade may be worthy of its name. TOWNIE.
