To cope with the problemi of park- ing private motor-cars during race week and during the Extra Race Meetings, the authorities have com- inenced work on a huge piece of ground on Morrison Hill, opposite the Civil Service Cricket Club. The work of levelling the site is now' progress and when ready, more than two hundred cars can be park ed thore.
