WATERFRONT FORESIGHT.
The conference to be held to-morrow between representatives of the Harbour Board, the City Council and, the Town Planning Association is in more than one* respect important. Conferences between such bodies are encouraging. An injury to one part of the city is an injury to all, and Auckland would be" better off to-day had there been more co-operation between governing bodies and between these bodies and advisory organisations. This conference -will consider the use of the dock site, which the Board proposes to lease for building purposes. There is a strong and justifiable feeling that this space should be kept open. A good deal of space will be required on the,waterfront for traffic developments, such as services to Orakei and St. Helier's, to say nothing of possibilities opened up by the harbour bridge scheme, and there is not so much room now that the community can afford to allow the dock site to be built on. The Harbour Board, however, may not be willing to make a present of this valuable site to the city, so that the saving of the site may depend on whether the Board, the.City Council and the .Transport Board can agree upon a financial arrangement.
