ELECTORAL OFFICE
NEW CHIEF APPOINTED
Mr. A. G. Harper has been appointed Chief Electoral Officer. For many years he has been well known throughout the Dominion as the local government officer of the Internal Affairs Department.
Mr. Harper has been closely concerned with town planning, and in 1938 represented the New Zealand Government at the international town planning and housing congress in Mexico City. While in America he investigated local government problems in the United States, and studied the large-scale housing projects then being undertaken by the Government. In 1941, when there was a possibil-
ity of a General Election that year, Mr. Harper was selected by the Government to take charge of the forces' voting in the Middle East. He travelled to the Middle East, but his services were not required on that occasion, because Parliament passed legislation extending its life for a year. While on his way home he held talks with the Education Department of Batavia with the object of an exchange of Netherlands East Indies and New Zealand students and also the establishment of chairs in the Dutch language and in English in the universities of both countries.
