LOCAL BODY AMALGAMATION
HON. PARRY’S ATTITUDE MUST MOVE WITH THE TIMES Parochial Outlook Deplored Press Association—Copyright. Whangarei, June 23. On the first official visit to the Northland since attaining to Cabinet rank, Hon. W. E. Parry, referring to local body amalgamation said the issue had been sidestepped in the past because it was big and important. But he held it should be faced. He urged a national rather than a parochial outlook on local body administration. There was a danger, while we were living in 1937, to let our minds dwell in 1880, when smaller units' were necessary to foster development.
. To-day, with better transport communication, the need of the parochial unit was passing, and a wider conception was necessary. New Zealand could not afford to let any part lag behind to providing facilities leading toward development.
