"ONE HOUSE, ONE FAMILY."
Speaking at Wellington recently Mr J. P. Luke said that the importance of the motto in town-planning, "one house one family," was strongly stressed by M. Augustine Rey, one of the greatest French town-planners. Speaking at the Town-planning Conference called by the Royal Institute of British Architects in London in 1910, and which was of an international character, said: —"The energetic character of the Anglo-Saxon race reveals itself very clearly in this matter of dwellings. The only thing with which we might reproach these residential cities, as they exist in England, is that they sometimes conceal their important buildings behind a mass of these ideal small dwellings—the cottages. Nevertheless, it is-one of the crowning glories of Great Britain to have made her own this motto :"Oue house, one family.' "
