HOUSING PROBLEM
ACTION IN WELLINGTON URGED
References to the housing problem were made at yesterday’s City Council gathering. The Mayor said that the «ity engineer had had a ±1500,000 scheme which would involve the wiping out of about 360 houses on Te Are Flat and in the Mount Cook area. The council should go to the Government and see what the Government would do in the matter. The City Council would not ’do its’ duty unless it grappled with tho housing problem. The last council was restricted in the matter, hut the present council should go ahead. The. sooner the position waa faced the better.
Councillor P. Fraser agreed with tho Mayor that the -problem might be too big for the local bodies, and therefore the General Government should be approached.
