"NO ESCAPE."
N*EW RADIO STATION.
OLD BUILDING UNSUITABLE.
STATEMENT BY MINISTER.
(From Our Own Correspondent.) WELLINGTON, Monday. When criticism by the Leader of the Opposition, the Hon. A. Hamilton, of the proposal to erect a new building in Auckland to house the commercial broadcasting station was referred to the acting-Minister in Charge of Broadcasting, the Hon. F. Jones, to-night, lie said the Health Department had been persistent in its representations that the building at present occupied by I'/Ai was unsuitable and unfit for occupation.
The broadcasting authorities were therefore compelled to rent a suitable building, or alternatively purchase or erect a new one. There was no escape from this course. Every endeavour was first made to find suitable alternative accommodation, without success.
The site on which the new building was to be erected was a valuable one, and it had been decided to erect a fourstorey structure. The two top storeys, however, would be used by other .State Departments.
