The Housing Problem
Sir,—.Politics have their humorous side. Now you have the Labour candidates for the council blaming the previous council for the housing difficulties. Mr. Editor, look around at those fine big Governmen: buildings in. your city—built during the last decade. Obviously, despite words to the contrary, big important-looking public buildings were very dear to the heart of the Labour representatives. If houses were really more important in their opinion, why wasn’t priority given to houses first and why were the big buildings not ’relegated to’ second place? As the Labour candidates pour’forth criticism of Wellington councillors, it is humorous to try to estimate just how much better the housing situation would have been today if Labour had not diverted so much of the building activities to <><wPrn'nen t buildings first.—-I am, etc., HUAIOdMSI. Palmerston North, May 26.
