The Wairarapa Daily. FRIDAY, JULY 4, 1890

Greytown must be heartily congratulated upon its Arbor Day celebration, The oldest township of the Wairarapa has given a load to many more pretentious centies of population in undertaking the task of beautifying its main thoroughfare, Arboriculture as applied- to streets is a recognised pursuit in the States, but it hus not as yot found many votaries in New Zealand oitka and towns, To Greytown, therefore, must be accorded the oredit of setting an' admirable example which will no doubt stimulate other communities to Bimilar efforts, Properly speaking the planting of shade trees in suitable places should be the duty of tho municipalities and town boards, butjocal bodies are so "poor and dour""- thai) it is hopeless to expect wytLing from, them in the way of dboorative art beyond an occasional indispensable lamppost. Arboriculture in towns is distinctly dependent upon private enterprise, aud whereas Masterion tried on this basis and failed, Greytown has attempted and succeeded, We have not in New Zealand as yet the ideal town which some visitors to Amerioa have described, a town whero every street has its double row of grateful* shade-giving trees, one on eaou kerb, a town where there is ample breathing room round each and every dwelling, and where there are no crowded alloys or pestiferous slums, Our Greytown friends seem to have some sort of idea of creating such a favored spot, and if they persevere with the task to which tbey baye set their bands tho time will florae when a good many people will want to live in the old Wairarapa township and its building sections will fetch a high price. It is quite a new departure for a' community to unite to make a township a pleasant place of residence, and we cannot help thjnking that the expense and trouble Grey, town is devoting to its Arbor Day enterprise will prove in the future ,to have been a oupital investmoat. It is, of course, not too late for even Masfefton to make some slight effort this season in a similar direction. We commend the idea to His Wprsbip the Mayor as one which he would be' quite justified in taking up. We amU but believe that tbero area, considerable number of residents in 1 Jlastertou who would heartjly join m, a movement to plant shade trees, if: chey were invited to do so by some une in authority. If the committee i our looal Horticultural Society baa

We understand that a number of 'settlers in and around Maaterton are taking steps to convene a nieetiu» in consequence of the recent demands nude upon tbom by. the Farriers' Union for increased prices, We very much regret that such a step as this should be deemed necessary, and that local tradesmen, who for'many long years have, without combination, and outsido interference, conducted their business to their own satisfaction, and to that of their customers, should now' have been induced by Wellington misobiefmakers to fall out with their bcßt friends, and wo fear to lose many of! their best oMtomers. It is a.pity that old friends should bo set by the ears in this woy, and we would far sooner seo the quarrel made up than that it should be fought out to the bitter end.
