Auckland City and Suburbs at Cross Purposes
DITFERLNG VIEWS ON AMALGAMATION Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, Sept. 6. Opposing views regarding the amalgamation of local authorities were placed before the select committee on the Local Government (Amalgamation Schemes) Bill to-day when the measure was criticised by the Auckland Suburban Local Bodies’ Association and supported with reservations by tho Auckland City Council. The association agreed there was need for local body reform but argued against tho Bill as a suitable instrument for reform. On tho other hand the Auckland City Council supported tho Bill but had suggestions to make regarding the personnel of the proposed Commission to deliberate on amalgamations. Evidence submitted in the afternoon on behalf of the Newmarket Borough Council contended that no territory should ever be annexed without its consent, unless for a very sound reason. Fear was expressed that Auckland City would "gibble up” Newmarket.
