PUKEKURA PARK.

MEETING OF THE BOARD. The Pukekura Park Board met last night. Present: Messrs. C. E. Bellringer (chairman), R. C. Hughes, W. C. Weaton, W. F. Short and H. Dempsey. The chairman reported that the improvements to be effected by the sports committee included a proposal to replace the present iron fence bounding on Phyllis Street with a more substantial and appropriate wall. To do this, however, it would be necessary to encroach on part of Phyllis Street, but there should be no difficulty, as the consent of property-owners in the street, he understood, would be forthcoming. It was decided to approach the Borough Council to secure their consent to a proposal to encroach on part of the s'-eet, the proposal being to enclose a width of about 15 feet, or practically the whole of the footpath on the park side. It was decided that the board should hold a special meeting at the park on Monday afternoon next to go into general matters connected with the grounds. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Sheppard, of the Hygienic Bakery, for donations of bread for feed for the water fowl. The chairman’s action in granting the sports committee permission to hold a concert in the park on Saturday night was approved.
