HALSWELL BLOCK
Houses Within Two Years Houses would be under construction in the new Free block at Halswell within two years, a spokesman for the Housing Division of the Ministry of Works said yesterday. Ultimately, the block will have 560 bouses, a primary school, and shopping facilities. It will increase the population of the Halswell county by 2500 or more when development is completed. At present the ministry is completing the roads in the first area on which houses will be built. The rest of the block is still unroaded and leased for grazing, although drainage work has been completed in the entire area. Some of the block will be used for State bousing, and the rest will be sold for group housing schemes or privately to individual buyers. Private sales of land will be negotiated through the Lands and Survey Department
