HOUSES AND FREEHOLD.
STATE " FANCY PRICES."
"In spite of promises, the houses that 'Jack' built are let only to those who have an assured income/' said Mr. Maxwell S. Walker, National candidate for Auckland Suburbs, in Victoria Hall, Rosebank Road, Avondale, last evening. He declared that if the freehold were
granted the prices of State houses would have to be readjusted, for few people would be prepared'to pay the "fancy prices" which they cost.
Land settlement would be necessary, he said, to support the large population which would be here after the National party's "baby bonus" came into operation. He described the guaranteed price as the "confiscated price," and said compulsory unionism had been used as a device to gain money from those who "would not pay twopence" otherwise.
