This was announced yesterday by the City Council's public relations officer (Mr T. H. Langford), who said he had discussed the progress of the settlement with the Minister of Health (Miss M. B. Howard) on Monday. Mr Laiigford added that Miss Howard had told him that the Public Works Department was now examining the plans for the settlement prepared by the city architect (Mr T. Nelson) and the work would be pushed on as fast as possible. He had hoped to get some of the single men to go out to Bumham before the main body, but it would be better for all the pensioners to move in together.
