“GRAND PARK AVENUE”

GREEN LANE WANTS CHANGE OF NAME REQUEST TO ONE TREE HILL "I suppose Green Lane is too short a name for them. They must have something sounding and important.” said the chairman of the One Tree Hill Road Board, Mr. H. B. Dobbie. when a deputation from the newly-formed Green Lane Progress League asked for the board's help in getting the name changed. The deputation said that Green Lane I was a confusing name because the road itself reached right into Remuera and Epsom, and there was a di> trict on the Great South Road which was getting the same name. The d« - , putation suggested that the name of j the road should be changed to Grand Park Avenue. After discussion the board decided j to suggest to the City Council that j they call tho road between Remuera j Road and the Great South Road Green , Lane East, and the part in the One ' Tree Hill district Green Lane West. It j was also decided to support Green Lane’s claims to a new post office. From the Auckland City Council a copy , of the proposed Water Supply Bill was I
