“Neglected”
From Our Own Correspondent SUVA. April 17.
SUVA’S Botanical Gardens, a dreary and uninspired corner but with obvious possibilities, is worrying the Town Council to the point where the council may have to tell the Government that the council’s facilities will not allow the proper upkeep of the gardens.
Despite their air of comparative neglect, the gardens contain a collection of shrubs and trees of considerable botanical in terest. Not long ago name-plates on the trees were neatly repainted. All was well until the Suva Town Council received a letter which pointed out that the plates had been replaced on the wrong trees.
Whereupon the council hurriedly passed the buck to the Agriculture Department, which had inadvertently wandered from the path of accuracy.
