WILL RIVAL SYDNEY
AUCKLAND’S RAPID GROWTH NEED FOB ARTERIAL ROADS [ Per Press Awoclation. ] AUCKLAND, March 16. Mr Bush, city engineer, in an address to the New Zealand Conference of Civil Engineers, said there had been a greater percentage of growth in Auckland in recent years than in either Sydney or Melbourne. This represented a growth of 24.2 for each quinquennial period. In the same time the population of New Zealand had increased only 12.1 per cent. Maintaining this rate Auckland, in 40 years, would be as large as Sydney is to-day. No part of town planning schemes was more important than the provision of new arteries in the cities. Mr Bush urged the planning of such roads immediately, as well as the acquisition of necessary property.
