A suggestion that the use of the native name of One Tree Hill —Maungakiekie —should be restored was made by Mr J. E. Green at a meeting of the Auckland Ifistorical Society, states the “New Zealand Herald.” He said the tree or trees on the summit were now fast approaching the last stage of decrepitude and that a suitable opportunity for a reversion to the native name was afforded by the completion of the obelisk that has been erected by the Campbell trustees as a monument to the Maori race. The suggestion was favourably received, and the Rev A. B. Chappell, president of the society, mentioned that Sir John Logan Campbell himself had no liking for the name by which the hill, of which ho was so fond, is now known. Another speaker suggested that the views of the One Tree Hill Domain Board and the Borough Council should be ascertained. .The subject was referred to the council of the society for consideration.
