AUCKLAND, July 4.
The Government wis strongly criticised on Saturday by the chairman of the Mount Smart Domain Board (Mr H. W. Beasley) after the Ministry of Works had deferred until June, 1966, the issue of a building permit for the £63,200 grandstand at the domain.
“I am very indignant and disappointed the Government sees fit to turn down a project that will help curb delinquency when it can issue a permit for a private organisation to build a £500,000 motor hotel in the city.” he said. The chairman of the Auckland Amateur Athletic Centre’s Mount Smart development committee (Mr F. Sharp) said: "This refusal to issue a permit is ridiculous. "The Mount Smart project is not eating up any Government money and this ts simply retarding the progress of sport and physical education in New Zealand.”
