From the tourist point of view the most suitable name for North Auckland would ho Kauriland, ho said. Egmont was the most perfect of all mountain cones, not excepting Fujiyama. The road down the West Coast of the South Island presented probably the finest seacoast drive in the Dominion. Mr. Stewart described the various campaigns carried out by the department to popularise resorts, towns and districts, and said all had resulted in a definite increase in travel to the place concerned. Mr. Stewart paid a tribute to the work dono by tho Travel Club and to the club's guide book "The Gateway," which was an ideal publication of its kind, and might well serve as a model for other organisations.
