AUCKLAND'S GROWTH.
WILL EQUAL SYDNEY IN FORTY YEARS. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, March Id. Mr W. E. Bush, City Ei:gm-;er f>r Auckland, in an address to the New Zealand conference of Ci/ 1 Engineers said there had been a greater percentage of growth in Auckland in recent years than either in Sydney or| Melbourne. This represented a growth 24.2 for each quinquennial period. In the same time the population of New Zealand had increased only 12.2 per cent. Maintaining this rate Auckland in forty years would be as targe as Sydney is to-day. No part of a town planning scheme was in.tre important than the provision of new arteries in the cities, a|nd Mr Bush urged the planning of such roads immediately.
