A suggestion for a Queen's Drive I for Masterton,. on somewhat the same lines as the Queen's Drive in Wellington, comes to us from one who is interested in municipal undertakings. The idea is the formation of an embanked road, by the river side, from the railway station to the Waipoua bridge, at tho northern end of the town. Such a work would cost about 1400, would protect the town from the river encroachment, and would supply residents with a charming drive and promenade, It is also suggested that the work could be leisurely proceeded with under tho auspices of the Benevolent Society, which could make their able-bodied clients work for the aid they receive. The idea generally is worth thinking and talking oveiv That tho thing is worth doing is evident enough, but the question of the best way of doing it requires consideration,
