George Robert Hogan, Municipal and Official Handbook of the City of Auckland… (1922)
“ The rapid growth of motor transport in the City during recent years is shown by the fact that the registration numbers are now well on the 10,000 mark, and the Government has recently increased the numerals from 1 to 12,000. It is estimated that there are 6,000 motor vehicles of all classes on the City streets daily. In order to meet the requirements and convenience of owners of private motor cars, the City Council has set aside a number of streets in which private cars may be "parked." ”
