The most populous parts of our cities must be made. liveable again, by clearing away the debris of a past age, openingcongested areas to light and air, and providing elbow room for the city dweller. Scientific planning, a co-operative community spirit, wise direction of financial resources, can make this possible. In such progressive develop- ments as this, The Dominion Bank, with a tradition of community service covering three quarters of a century, will be proud to play its part.
