ARCHITECTS’ FEES
Sir,—Mr Ritchie, chairman of the Southland Building Society, is to join the list of great discoverers of the Antipodes; Mr Ritchie has discovered that architects are overpaid. One feels sure that some recognition will be made, and a suitable decoration awarded to Mr Ritchie during the Royal visit to record this service to the human race. Careful consideration should be given to a discovery that warrants almost a column of our leading newspaper, as the practice of architecture as a profession is one of all countries and languages. Architects there were before any other profession, excepting two confined to the female, one being “the gossip” mother of journalism. Architects’ fees are approved by Cabinet and Price Control before being gazetted, and are on the same basis and percentage the world over.—Yours, etc., A. FRANCIS-WILLIS. May 26, 1953.
