The opinion that the time had arrived when the Hamilton Borough Council should pursue a more progressive policy in respect of the buildings erected in the town was expressed at a council meeting by Cr Pinfold, who suggested the creation of building zones with a view to preventing the erection of unsuitable premises in certain areas (states the Waikato Times). It was resolved to set up a committee to consider the establishment of definite building zones for residential, commercial, and industrial purposes with a view to restricting the building of unsightly and'unsuitable places of business in areas where they were not wanted. Under the provisions suggested no permits would be issued for buildings which did not come within the classifications or conform with requirements.
