  It is shown that the Stelle-West Grignani-Nardelli-formalism allows, both
when odd dimensions and when even dimensions are considered, constructing
actions for higher dimensional gravity invariant under local Lorentz rotations
and under local Poincar\`{e} translations. It is also proved that such actions
have the same coefficients as those obtained by Troncoso and Zanelli in ref.
Class. Quantum Grav. 17 (2000) 4451.
