16,000 HOMES A YEAR
Rehabilitation Plan Being Worked Out (Bv Telegraph.-—Press Association.) OHRISTCHUR.CII, January 21. The ultimate objective of building 16,000 homes yearly in a great housebuilding plan under the rehabilitation scheme was outlined by the Minister of Supply, Mr. Sullivan, in an address last evening. The plan, the Minister said, was being worked out to the most minute detail. Tlie Government had developed as one part of the rehabilitation plan the greatest enterprise that had probably ever been conceived in this country or had ever been attempted. '.rhe erection of 16.000 bouses yearly would mean the development of training schools for returned soldiers and youths leaving school. It would mean the expansion and development of existing factories for the production of required materials, and probably the erection of new fact oriei?.
The carrying out of such a scheme would stimulate activity in a large number 'of industries, including the furniture industry, and would do more to inspire people and “ginger up” the country’s economic system and provide employment than any other possible scheme.
