FARM HOUSING ACT
OBJECTION TO PROVISIONS (By Telegraph.—Special to Times) GISBORNE, Monday Provisions of the Rural Housing Act which were added before the legislation was passed have decided the Hawke’s Bay County Council to consider no further applications under the scheme until the compli-
cations objected to are removed. It was agreed at a meeting of the council that the rating clause was an unnecessary expense, while county councils were now being embarrassed by numerous restrictions.
It was further considered that, unless the council was given full priority under the loan provisions, it would soon occupy an impossible position in the case of Crown tenants walking off their properties. The council considered that the Government had not facilitated the building of houses in the country as it had done in the towns.
