NO POST OFFICE FOR NORTHLAND
FOR SOME YEARS AT LEAST It will be some years at least, Sir James Parr stated yesterday in reply to a question by Sir John Luke, before the ejection of a post office building at Northland will be necessary. In the meantime it is not proposed to purchase an area of land as a site for a deoartniental building, the Minister qc fi, e experience of the Department has been that sites purchased, in m.tieipation of possible future requirements have proved, owing to altered conditions, to be unsuitably situated when the time has arrived for the erection of a building. . Sir. John Luke, commentin'* on trie replv, said the answer was not at all satisfactory. He stressed the fact that Northland was a rapidly developing district, and that there was an ideal site available, lie could say without hesitation that tlie Department was losing a valuable opportunity of acquiring a suitable site. The Department apparently hail not caught the importance of the position.
