VERTICAL DEVELOPMENT
Sir, —I note from yesterday’s paper that the Mayor sees that the time has arrived for alteration to our building and subdivisional by-laws. I hope there will be some vertical development in the ideas of the persons drafting these by-laws. The bureaucratic control of people’s properties by councillors, local body servants and public servants should have terminated long ago and been replaced by rules of common sense. It is high time also that the business people took up the parking regulations. The council is steadily increasing its rates and equally steadily driving its . business out to the suburbs. In the bigger cities of the world cars are allowed to pull up facing either way, but we here in Christchurch have not yet reached that enlightened stage.— Yours, etc.,
CHRISTCHURCH NORTH. July 21, 1954.
