AUCKLAND, Last Night. One of the largest projects in the history of Queen street is to be undertaken forthwith by the Bank of New Zealand in the replacement of the premises that have housed its Auck-" land branch for the past 70 years. It was announced to-day that preparations were being made for the erection of a seven-storey building rising to the full height permitted by the city by-laws, 102 f eet, and covering the whole site between the premises and Milne and Choyce, Ltd., and Swanson street. Mr. W. G. Miller, manager of the Auckland branch of the bank, stated 1 that constructional work would probably be started about the middle of next year. Two Auckland architects, Messrs. R. Atkinson Abbott and W. H. Gummer, of Gummer and Ford, and partners, have . been commissioned to design the building, and they will leave shortly for Sydney and Melbourne, probably accompanied by a senior officer of the bank, to examine some of the many large bank buildings that have been ereeted in Australia within recent years.
