WORKERS' HOMES IN PETONE
At the eastern side of Petone, within a short distance of the Hutt River, lies the Wilford Settlement, comprising some of the finest land in the district. At present this large area is practically unoccupied, and, being Government land, is, of course, non-ratepaying. It will not be long, however, before the settlement will be covered with bouses, the Petone Council having undertaken to extend William-street, which will result in the opening up of a large portion of the land. On this will be erected workers' homes, and that most of the available sections will bo taken up iB evident from the fact that there has been a constant stream of applications from residents desirous of obtaining homes under the Workers' Dwellings Scheme. When the entire settlement is opened up there will be something like a thousand sections altogether!
