EXPANSION IN THE NORTH.
SOUTHERNER IMPRESSED.
During his travels in the North, two factors particularly appealed to Mr. W. H. Atack, manager of the United Press Association. One was the considerable areas of well-grassed land in districts that were deemed to be poor land. He had heard much about the so-called roadless North, but., to his surprise, he found a number of roads, and, although they might not be in the best of condition, he had motored a good many miles over them, and some he found to be well metalled.
The expansion of Auckland, and the activity of the city's waterfront, were referred to by the visitor. Ten years have passed since he was last in Auckland, and he admits he had no idea the boundaries of the city had extended so much. The length of the tram routes and the many services which had been installed were matters of surprise to him. - The waterfront, by its extent? and activity, held his interest, particularly in regard to the size of the new Prince's Wharf. ,
