Dictating Where People Should Go
AUCKLAND. Thu. (P.A.) thought you returned to New Zealand to get democracy.” remarked Mr Justice Goldstine, chairman of the Local Government Commission to Mr J. P. Porter, chief engineer of the Auckland Metropolitan Drainage Board at the inquiry into North Shore administration problems. Mr Porter: Yes.
His Honor: You are preaching now that we should dictate to the people where they should live and that they should not go to the East Coast bays before the southern part of the harbour is fully developed. Mr Porter had said that if he had been in charge of town planning no development would have taken place yet in the East Coast bays area. To prevent over-inflation of rales development should be progressive. The chairman said unless planning had regard for the wishes of the people the sooner it was abandoned the better.
