86 EEPORT OF THE N^o. 3 



I have ♦good reason to believe that an electric railway will reach the Park 

 within two years. The C. W. & L. E. Co. intend to extend their line to Blenheim 

 this year, and when they continue the line farther east, I understand that it is 

 their intention to run a spur down to the Park. Then I think it would be advis- 

 able for the Government to offer the railway company every reasonable facility to 

 build a good large public house, that will be a credit to the Park. The necessity of 

 a public house here is becoming more apparent every year, and this seems to me to 

 be the most feasible way of getting one built. 



I have the honour to be. 

 Sir, 

 Your obedient servant, 



Isaac Gardiner, 



Caretaker and Ranger.
