Extent of Grounds Necessary
Extent of Grounds Necessary.
On the township side of the Puarenga, the grounds should include the area of the flats and downs extending to the line from Tangatarua to the crossing of the Puarenga by the Wairoa Road; on the south of the stream, the grounds should extend from the Taupo Road on the west, to the Wairoa Road on the east; and southward, as far as Rotokakahi, taking in the Waipa Plains for the purpose of forming a park. And, in order to conserve most beautiful natural New Zealand scenery in a domain, Moerangi Mountain and Tiki Tapu Bush and Lake should be included. These hills and forests should by every possible means be preserved, as specimens of native grandeur, to all time. Probably 6,000 acres would be required for all purposes.
