IT is to be hoped that the meeting convened for next Wednesday afternoon for the purpose of funning a Beautifying Society for (he borough will be largely attended. One has (■nly to look round our town to see 1 ho need for some such organisation. Naturally, (he first locality that would receive the a-1 lent ion of a Beautifying Society, it"one is formed, would be the recently acquired Easton Bark. The Borough Council lias arranged to gel Mr Black, of Balmeislon North, to visit FoX'lon at an early dale to advise as to the laying out of these grounds, and if a strong Beautifying Society is formed to work in conjunct ion with the Council, this land, which is now barren of any improvements, could be soon converted into a beauty spot. The efforts of the Society need not be confined to Easton Bark alone, as we have also Victoria Bark, a( present, a wilderness, that,- could be greatly improved with the expenditure of some money''and labour. The old Maori Cemetery, the Triangle, at the north end of Main Street — but why go on enumerating these places. All residents must sec (he benefit that a. Society such as the cue proposed would be to the town, and it behoves all those who are able to roll up at "Wednesday's meeting and give the project a good start.
