$200,000 Building Opened

The strong and vigorously designed new Cook County Council administrative office building was officially opened by the president of the New Zealand Counties Association, Mr W. Baird, on March 30.

Costing a total of $200,000, the new building stands back from the road on a 2¼ acre site which gives ample room for off-street parking.
