TOWN PLANNING.
STATEMENT BY MINISTER. AOT NOT A DEAD LETTER. (By Telegrapn.—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Monday. While the matter has not been lost from sight, no action has yet been taken to appoint a town planner in succession to Mr. J. W. Mawson, who retired two years ago. Some branches of the Town Planning Institute, as well as others interested, have lately been critical oi the present position, declaring that without a town planner the Town Planning Act was a dead letter. When discussing the matter to-day, the Minister of Internal Affairs, the Hon. J. A. Young, said that although there was no town planner at present, it did not mean that the Act was a dead letter. Several local bodies were preparing regional schemes, and if it were necessary to obtain expert advice this could be obtained in New Zealand.
