SLUM CLEARANCE
LINKED WITH CENTENNIAL EXHIBITION CHAMBER OF COMMERCE INVESTIGATING [Per United Press Association.] WELLINGTON, September 11. A special committee has been set up by the Wellington Chamber of Commerce to investigate and report upon the proposals to unite the question of the site for the Centennial Exhibition with that of slum clearance in Wellington. Several members of the Chamber of Commerce at its meeting urged that if the exhibition were held somewhere near the National Art Gallery and Dominion Museum instead of at Rongotai it would be more successful, because it would be more centrally situated, and the clearing of land in Gaining, Tory, Taranaki, and nearby streets of their present buildings would leave an asset of enduring benefit to Wellington.
