ZONING OF LIGHT INDUSTRY
Manufacturer's Protest I.igiit industry seemed to be look upon, in Christchurch, as "a necessary evil to be tucked away out of sight.’’ said Mr W. z ß.’ Owen in a letter to the Canter-■ bury Progress League last evening. "This is very contrary to the policy overseas, where good light industrial estates arc being established with street frontages and every encouragement given to establish plants not only efficient but of an aesthetic nature in which pride could be taken. “Such light industrial sites as there are available in Christchurch are located behind residential zones as though they are and must be an eyesore. This does not encourage them to be anything else." Mr Owen, who said he had previously made inquiries about a; site for his plant in Auckland,] acknowledged the assistance of I the public relations officer (Mri E. G. Beckett) in obtaining land in Christchurch.
