An account of an interview with Mr Alwyn Fisher respecting the formation of a 00-operative House - buying Association, appears in a Wanganui contemporary, In which it is claimed that that form of Association is an improvement on the Starr-Bowkett, in that it gives every member an equal opportunity of participating in the benefits of the Association and eliminates the element of chance. We ere informed that the Marton Laud, Building and Provident Society is designed to afford assistance to its members on the lines advocated hy Mr Fisher.
