BEAUTIFYING THE PARK.

A QUESTION OF SUBSIDY,

At last night's meeting of the Masterton Borough Council, a letter wa> received from the secretary of the Park Beautifying Committee, enclosing copies of three resolutions adopted by his committee, and forwarding a cheque for £IOO and one for £2O 8s lid, being the full amount of the money raised for Park beautifying purposes. The resolutions were to the effect that £IOO be handed; to the Borough Council to hold for twelve months in order that it might be added to, that £2O odd be used for certain necessary ..works in tlio Park, and that the Borough Council draw up a plan of the Park, to be consulted for the purpose of laying down' schemes for beautifying of the reserve.

Cr Ewington did not agree to the holding over of the K;c?Qey for twelve months. He stated that there were many things that might be done immediately with the £IOO. The speaker .V : : '- favoured ,the . other two suggestions. ''<:■ :.'- .wr Temple : stated that he 'understood that the'Goyernmeny had!'off-. .' ered?fe : subsidise ra^'fuhdJ^tp-vbe--: , usedi for; a pfermdneiit i; memorial \i'ur-! ing Coronation montn, and he saw no reason why something should 'not be done in that direction. In view of this fact he would move that the whole be held over until further information liad been obtained'on the subject. ' Cr Elliott seconded the motion, \ which was carried.

The Acting Town Clerk was instructed to. make inquiries concerning the matter.
