AUCKLAND’S WAR MEMORIAL MUSEUM TO BE EXTENDED.—The Government has agreed to grant a building permit for extensions to the Auckland War Memorial Museum costing £440,000. This photograph shows the museum and Cenotaph erected in the Auckland Domain in the 1920’s in honour of the war dead of the city and province. The proposed extensions will commemorate the fallen of the Second World War. The sum of £120,000 in donations is already earning interest, but the campaign for funds was suspended last year pending Government approval of the project.
