STATE HOUSING
ULTIMATE OBJECTIVE ERECTION OF 16,000 HOMES A YEAR. ACCORDING TO MR SULLIVAN. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. An ultimate objective of building 16,000 homes a year in a great housebuilding plan, under the rehabilitation scheme, was outlined by the Minister of Supply, Mr D. G. Sullivan, in an address last evening. The plan, he said, was being worked out to the most minute detail. The 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. The erection of 16,000 houses 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 production of the required materials and probably the erection of new factories. 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 the people and “ginger up” the country’s economic system and provide more employment than any other possible scheme.
