SEAT OF GOVERNMENT
AUCKLAND'S ASPIRATIONS.
By Telegraph—Press Association. AUCKLAND, November 2.
The effort being made by Mr A. E. Glover, M.P. for Auckland Central, to induce the Government to consider the transference of the seat of Government back to Auckland, is supported by the President of the Auckland Chamber of Commerce (Mr B. Kent). "The seat of Government," says Mr Kent, "should never have been shifted from this city; but in any case the causes which led to the transference no longer exist. 4 The isolation of the city has been removed by the opening of the Main Trunk line, and it would be an admirable thing, from every point of view, if the seat of uovernment were in Auckland We have ample room for the accommodation of the respective Houss, and as a new House of Parliament is to be erected, the time ) seems quite opporture for the question to be very seriously considered. Although some members of the House, in their attempts at sarcasm, asked where Auckland was, to men who live in a haystack only one advice can be given: to come out into the world, and know where Auckland is, and , tliey will never want to leave it." |
