Book excerpt: Excerpt from Municipal and Official Handbook of the City of Auckland, New Zealand The civic administration of Auckland has now made 70 years of history. They have been years of wonderful expansion and progress. The facts and records call for wider and more effective publicity than any yet given to them. Resident citizens and visitors from abroad ask for information that has hitherto not been available in any convenient form. This Handbook, compiled by the Chief Librarian under the direction of the Council, is intended to meet the need so widely felt and expressed. The book will be found to cover nearly all the activities and interests of the Corporation and of other local bodies whose work is connected with the City. The views of early Auckland placed in contrast with corresponding ones of recent date are especially impressive. They show at a glance how the pioneer town has become a modern city. The compiler's work is ably done; and it is confidently predicted that the book will command wide interest and appreciation.
