Question about Humphrey

THE EDITOR: It is most unfortunate for Commissioner Victor Hart to question Mr John Humphrey on the design of the airport, when the public had been informed years ago that John Humphrey is not an academically qualified architect and so any answer that may come from him cannot be taken seriously. John Humphrey is not listed as a Registered Architect in Trinidad and Tobago. This register I am made to understand is open to only academically qualified architects. Except Mr Humphrey can present to the public a diploma, degree or certificate from a recognised institute, this is a fact. It is also most unfortunate that Mr Guerra, attorney-at-law should be expected to ask questions only which Mr Humphrey is prepared to answer. The chairman seems to know more of Mr Humphrey than Mr Guerra. It is only in an effort to be so enlightened that the attorney had been persuaded to ask questions. The chairman’s constant reference to Mr Humphrey as an intelligent man and a good architect is unfortunate as it may be challenging Mr Guerra to prove it otherwise.
