Jordan, said he had often thought that the area could very well be planted by the borough, with a view to becoming valuable in the future. .The area was about .a acres and the rental was £3l per year. Councillor W. Kemp said the eng meer was correct when he said that one of the council's own men should live on the property, with an area oi about five acres available for Ins use. He moved accordingly. This was agreed to. ..... Mr Jordan said he would lise councillors to consider whether it would be advisable to plant the area in trees. Councillor C. E.
