REGIONAL PLANNING
SCHEME! TOO AMBITIOUS. COUNCILLOR’S COMMENT. (By Telegraph—Press Association ) WANGANUI, Jan. 13. That regional planning under the Town Planning Act was too ambitious for counties was the opinion expressed by a member of the Waitotara County Council to-day. Ho characterised the scheme as 20 years ahead of the times and was confident that county engineers were quite competent to watch county interests. He did not see tlie necessity for a Town Planning Board in this country at all. The towns could handle their own schemes. This view was opposed by Mr W. Morrison, vice-president of the- Counties’ Association, who said Wellington was a case in point. "What a fine thing it- would have been,” he declared, ‘‘if a scheme had been in vogue in the past.” He said he was inclined to agree that regional planning was ambitious.
