AIRPORT FOR AUCKLAND.
POLLEN'S ISLAND SCHEME. LOCAL BODIES TO CONFER. / Negotiations for the establishment of a commercial airport on Pollen's Island, a partly submerged area at the foot of Kosebank Road, Avondale, were continued yesterday, when Mr. David B. Russell, the advocate engineer for the scheme, conferred with Mr. W. Slaughter, officer in charge of the Labour Department in Auckland. Commenting on the position after the conference, Air. Slaughter said the arrangements were by no means definite. The present position was that the scheme had been approved by the Unemployment Board, subject to an arrangement being made by the interested local authorities, the Auckland City Council, the Waitemata County Council and the Auckland Harbour Board, for carrying out the work under the rules applying to the operation of the No. 5 scheme. The work could not be started until all or any of the local bodies intimated willingness to provide materials, tools, supervision and insurance.
Mr. Slaughter said a meeting of repreeentatives of the local authorities would be held on Tuesday, when the proposal Would be fully discussed.
