An Earnest of Auckland's Future Greatness

This delightful picture is a reproduction of the facade of the Art Gallery, -which forms but a part of the proposed Auckland new Civic Centre. It must be a matter of pride to Auckland that, in open world competition, the design submitted by tzvo of her citizens should be adjudicated the -winning one. The "work of Messrs. W. 11. Cummer, A.R.1.8.A., T.N.A M.T.l..and C. Reginald Cord. C.S.Arc, A.M.I. P. 1.. F.N.Z.I.A.'. I-.R.G.S, etc. etc. is too well knozvn in Nczv Zealand to need editorial comment. Suffice it to say that there could be no doubt as to the correctness of the civic authorities' choice We congratulate these tzvo gentlemen on yet a further proof of the eminence they have achieved in their profession, and the civic authorities on their statesman-like appreciation of the future needs of their City. In the near future the City ratepayers 'will have the opportunity of _ deciding -whether the time is opportune for the immediate putting in to execution of this ambitious project.
