STATE HOUSES
NOT FOR PEOPLE WHO SELL OWN HOMES. MINISTERIAL ANNOUNCEMENT. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, July 1. “If an owner sells his property and thus creates his own housing difficulty, he cannot look to the State to assist him to find other accommodation,” said the Minister of Housing, Mr Armstrong, tonight, commenting on the fact that a number of applications for State rental houses are being received from persons who have recently disposed of their own properties. . . . There was evidence, said the Minister, that people were seeking to take advantage of the present high prices by quitting their homes. Persons who did so and became applicants for State houses would not receive favourable consideration. The rental scheme had been introduced to provide accommodation not for property-owners, but for persons living in adverse conditions. “Owners who are thinking of selling their house properties should bear this in mind,” said Mr Armstrong.
