MAP OF TARANAKI
PROTEST AT DELETION OF HISTORICAL DATA I Untied Pres# Assoriatinnl NEW PLYMOUTH. 24th January. The deletion of historical data from a large-scale official map of Taranaki recently prepared under the direction of the Surveyor-General was the subject of an objection by the Taranaki Centennial Council in Stratford to-day. Mr W. H. Skinner was quoted as saying that the computation of data represented nearly a century of effort in the field and office by surveyors and others interested in the preservation of Maori and early European history. It was stated that the deletion was made because the data was not available for other provinces and uniformity was desired by the department.
