TOWN PLANNING INSTITUTE
(New Zealand Press Association.) WELLINGTON, May 6. There was good reason for professional town planners to be gratified with the progress made in New Zealand in recent years, said the chairman (Mr R. B. Hammond) at the annual general meeting in Wellington of the New Zealand branch of the Town Planning Institute of London. Mr Hammond said that the passing of the 1926 act was really the beginning of town planning in New Zealand, but it was a good many years before progress was made. During the war the activities of the whole country were necessarily directed to war purposes, and planning work came almost to a standstill. The election of officers resulted: chairman, Mr Hammond; vice-chair-man, Mr C. E. H. Putt; treasurer, Mr D. G. Porter: secretary. Mr J. W. Cox; committee. Messrs G. N. T. Goldie. R. D. H. Hill. F. W. O. Jones, R. J. Sissons, and A D. Hollis.
