I am glad to learn that the intolerable proposal to

construct a greyhound racing track near Gold Hill, between Gerrard's Cross and Chalfont St. Giles, has been emphatically vetoed by the local district council. Quite apart from the appropriation of agricultural land for such a purpose, the concomitants of a dog-track, and the crowds it would attract, would make a singularly attractive rural area almost uninhabitable. Similar projects will need careful watch- ing, for many similar projects will be attempted.
