CHILDREN'S CENTRE PROPOSAL FOR AUCKLAND The need in Auckland for a centre providing accommodation during the day for children temporarily requiring care and supervision was emphasised by Dr R. Houghton, writing for the Nursery Play Centre Committee, in a letter received by the City Council last night. Proposals for temporary and permanent centres were forwarded with the letter. Dr Houghton said Auckland was the only city that did not possess a city nursery play centre where children, including babies, of the travelling public and of citizens attending a variety of appointments and other business could be left for periods during the day. A suggested permanent site for the centre was vacant land in Turner Street, off Upper Queen Street. The committee had prepared a tentative plan for a building in permanent materials estimated to cost £10,01)0. Until permanent accommodation was available it was suggested that the most suitable premises would be the top -floor of. a central Queen Street building. Representations had been made on this matter. The matter was referred to the Finance Committee.
