"Wilson (Invercargill), in an address aftho annual meeting of the New Zealand Institute of Architects to-day, made the following comments in regard to the proposed National Art Gallery, Museum, and War Memorial at Mount Cook, Wellington: "It is gratifying that ju this, the most important public building enterprise of recent yca^s, the advice of our 'institute has been sought and followed, thus setting a good anil inspiring precedent for the . future. AYe are particularly indebted for the good so far attained to the Mayor of Wellington.
"It now remains," said Mr. Wilson, "for our members to justify the steps taken ;j and, later, for the city authorities to reform the environment in a manner worthy of the buildings and their purpose.
