TOWN PLANNING BILL
ATTITUDE OF SURVEYORS (By Telegraph —Press Association). WELLINGTON, August 5. The president of the New Zealand Institute of Surveyors, Mr Preston Chambers, at the annual meeting of the institute to-day, commented upon the improvements made in the provisions of the Town Planning Bill. He urged continued scrutiny of the measure. “Our efforts have been largely instrumental in producing these improvements, and wo must continue our vigilance in the direction of requiring any new clause affecting survey procedure to have the endorsement of our council before submission to legislative action,” he said. “We must watch, too, as to what the trend of any new legislation is likely to be, for in a young country like this, whose progress is largely dependent on private enterprise, private interests are not to be callously sacrificed at the whim of enthusiastic innovators whomsoever they may be. It would indeed be well if the Government, which does not hesitate to consult competent persons outside its service in matters of moment other than town-planning movements, extended similar consideration in this connection to the council of the institute, which commands the experience of men 'whose business largely consists of the practical application of town-planning principles and who are in consequence properly skilled in such matters.
