‘GROPING IN DARK’
Builders Seek Guidance (N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND, April 30. The building industry was “growing in the dark” and unless it had guidance for future housing and industrial building programmes, an efficient industry could not emerge, the retiring president of the Auckland Council of the Building Industry (Mr N. E. Pollard) said in his annual report last night; He criticised the Government for failing to implement its repeated undertakings to call another meeting of the National Housing Council which has been in “virtual recess for a number of years.” He suggested that the industry should demand that the council should become active again and this time for it to embrace wider fields to include all facets of building to allow the potential of the industry to be assessed.
