TREE PLANTING IN.THE BOEpUGH. ;•■■•: TO IHE EDITOR. , Sir,—ln .connection with the proposed Boroughjloanmay I suggest that a loan of say_ £SO phpuld' be Expended, in planting deciduous trees in Borne of our public streets suoh .as Lincoln road,"Church-street, 'the triangle at the Kurupuni end of Queen-street Albert, iYidtoria,. and!(?hapel-streels, with other broad streets and corners. Those would greatly enhance the beauty;of our town and being deciduous would not shade in the winter.• The great advantage of (trees would be, however, the shelter during hot weather afforded, to children (espeoiallytolinfauts .'and, children of tender years),, tThe'agreeable shade would prevent a great deal of summer diarrhcoa, feverish attacks, and other c'omplaints. of the nervous .which are ao frequently met with during v.ihe; summer months from exposure to the sun's rajs. I will not" .order toqnote other ,uses,whieh»trees' have inpromotinghealthand lessening disease by ( acting as disinfeofcing agents upon noxious ' gasra arid vapdursV etc;! but M'only add thatthecoblshadewoulddbubtlesaattraptthe .number of lies which now infeot.our house during hot weather, and would thus; relieve us in .measure from another,annoyance. . ; which .is. no small one in summer time, '?•'■■ . - > '.!&<■ 'Jk ;>;(>r/'i^X o"™faithfoily, 0 "™faithfoily, ■ ■'. -

The burning question of the day is whether a loan is really necessary for , •■' Masterton. One tiling wo know is now necessary, and that is that the publio ' should know where to purchase the best and cheapest Clothing, Boots and shoe!,' Ironmongery, and Grocery, and that is Eapp & Ravo'H, Emporium.—Ai vi.
