Shephard's Hill

To The Editor

Sir— I read with interest the statement by 'Vox' (26/10/54) regarding the wrong spelling of this name

as 'Shepherd.' It is fortunate from an historical view that a des-cendant of William Henry Shephard, who owned the land embracing this hill, is available to correct the error, and I trust the Mit-cham Council will take steps to rectify the matter. In this comparatively young country now is the time to arrest the perpetua-tion of mistakes. -GEO. C. MORPHETT. President, Pioneers' As-sociation.
