Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Official Volume of Proceedings of the First New Zealand Town-Planning Conference and Exhibition: Wellington, 20th to 23rd May, 1919
The readers of papers will be allowed thirty minutes. It is not meces sary that the paper should be read in its entirety. What is essential is that the main points of the paper should be clearly stated as a basis for discussion. The papers will be printed. If thought desirable, in their entirety in the volume of Proceedings.
The selected speakers following each paper will be allowed ten minutes. And the succeeding speakers five minutes.
A warning will be given to the readers of the papers by the Chair man ringing a bell three minutes before the reader is expected to finish. And again to mark the interval of time. In the case of the selected speakers the bell will be rung two minutes before the allotted time, and for the subsequent speakers one minute before the time-limit allowed. Authors of papers will be allowed ten minutes for reply.
Each speaker should announce his name to the Chairman, with the name of the society that the delegate represents.
A lantern will be available during the Conference, and it is hoped that all readers and speakers will illustrate their remarks by lantern illustrations wherever possible.
Delegates who have prepared short addresses on the special subjects to come before the Conference may hand their names in to the Honorary Organizing Director before the time set down for the paper on which they wish to speak is read. These names will be placed on the Chair man's list in the order in which they are received. And the Chairman may call upon the speakers in rotation. Following these speakers, any delegate will be at liberty to address the Conference under the Chair man's direction.
In order that no time may be lost it is requested that those speakers who are on the programme to address the Conference at any session will sit near the platform. Punctuality is the essence of success.
It is hoped that under every subject resolutions will be submitted embodying what the Conference considers should be the broad principles which should be followed in the subject under discussion. It is not desired that the resolutions should touch upon questions of detail. All resolutions must be in writing and signed by the mover. And handed to the Chairman at the close of the selected speakers' addresses.
