TOWN PLANNING
WITHOUT A PLANNER
ACT NOT DEAD LETTER
AVhilc the matter has not been lost from sight, no action has yet been taken to appoint a Government town planner in succession to Mr. J. W. Mawson, who retired about two years ago.
Some branches of the Town Planning Institute, as well as others interested, have lately beeu critical of the present position, declaring that, without a town planner, the Town Planning Act was a dead letter.
Discussing the matter today, the Mm ister of tntornal Affairs (the Hon. J. A. Young) said that although there ! was'no town planner at present, it did not mean that the Act was a dead letter. Several local bodies were prcpar ing regional schemes, and .if it was necessary to obtain export advice this could.be obtained in New Zealand.
