Proposal to Reserve a r site. . MrHcsscy.at last night's meeting of the Mastcrton Trust Lands Trnst, moveil a notice of motion, that sections 44, 46 pd 48, opposite (?t. Patrick's Cliurcli, lie reserved for a public garden, and on Which also to erect a band rotunda. It yyas just the thing that was required. It was argued that the position was not a penfral one, but as there were no other llioro central sifes, they should lake advantage of the one mentioned. Mr Itcnall said ho was opposed to the proposal, They possessed a public park, which was the proper place for a band rotunda, and everything else necessary. Tho site mentioned was out of the way, and tho soil was composed chiefly of gravel.' It required money to givo effect to "mo proposal, and it would be a- long time bofcßnds were available to under take the wffit, It would bo detrimental to the Park. Ho hod previously asked tho Trustees for a small grant towards tho Park, but it was not considered neces sary. It was ridiculous to entertain such a proposal. _ Mr Hessey then amended his resolu tion to read that tho sections referred to bo withdrawn from the list of leases with ft view of reserving it for a garden' otc. ' Mr Itcnall thought the section would bo n valnablo sourco of revenue, as in tuuo the Jowd would extend in that direction, and the laud rise in price, Mr Feist said tho motion opened up a big question, There was no objection to Withdrawing the sections from tho list of leases, On the resolution boiug put to tho meeting it was carried,
