A MOUNTAIN HOUSE
PROGRESSIVE MOVE EGMONT HOSTELRY. Per Press Association. NEW PLYMOUTH, November 27. Showing what local patriotism can do, even in the present difficult times, the New Plymouth citizens have just raised £IO,OOO to take over improve, and develop the North. Egmont mountain house. They have subscribed the money, knowing they will get no direct return, but under the belief that it will prove a good investment for the town. All tho shares were taken up in a week or two. It is intended to erect a large social hall and billiard-room, install heating in the present buildings, and bring the hostelry into line with the most modern alpine resorts. It is also proposed to put down tennis courts and provide other facilities for visitors to the mountain road, which will shortly be re-made and tar-sealed.
