Children's Playground

The question of the supervision exercised over Chatham Road 'Play- ground has again been taken up with the Government, with beneficial results. Your Committee were informed in June that the question of the Midille Read Playground had been referred to the Playing Grounds Committee, int us this playground was obviously out- eide the terms of reference of that Com-

mittee, the Association pressed for the necessary work to be expedited, and in October were favoured with a state

Government's plans for ment of the this playground. Those plans received the earnest and careful consideration of your Committee, and several sugges- tions which would in our opinion con- siderably enhance the value of the Playground were subsequently put for ward. No expression of opinion from Government has yet been received on these suggestions, but your Committee are keeping in touch with the work on the site and hope that 1930 will see the completion of this urgently needed recreation space for children.

A suggestion for the conversion of a vacant plot of ground between Jordan Road and Saigon Street into a play ground for the congested Yaumati dis- trict was made, but we were informed

that this could not be considered prac ticable as the area in question was not Crown Land.
