LABOUR POLICY ON LAND SALES
RETURN OF CONTROL NOT INTENDED
(Ntw Zealand Pres* Associanon) WELLINGTON, August 29. Labour has no intention of instituting land sales control .through a Land Sales Court or otherwise. This assurance was given to-night by the president of the New Zealand Labour Pai lL ( ? lr * A - S' Noydmeyer), Labour candidate for Brooklyn, in answer to a question at an election meeting. Mr Nordmeyer said that there was now no standard that could reasonably be set as a basis on which a land sales committee could operate. So much damage had been done to the system of values that Labour felt It would only create more anomalies than it would correct if the system of control were now restored. He said that Labour believed, however, that if sufficient building section* were made available and an energetic drive made to secure more house* that would act as a brake to ridiculous price* and, in a large measure, achieve as much as artificial attempts to control land values.
