LOCAL BODIES ASSOCIATION
THE attitude of the Whakatane Borough Council in turning down the proposal to form a Bay of Plenty amalgamation of local bodies will we feel find general endorsement in view of the increasing number of calls upon local government at the present time and the growing difficulties of transport. The scheme though it may be laudable in normal times, is as the Mayor of this town frankly put it superfluous at the present time. The wide divergence of interests is another strong negative argument while we must also recognise the local body habit of unconsciously building senseless super-structures of administration which in themselves tend to burden and restrict in years to come.

Defender protests, ."But you're dead. I've shot you with a pistol, a ride, and a machine gun. ; ' Invader, "Chug chug. I'm a tank.''
