16,000 HOUSES
YEARLY BUILDING PLAN
OBJECTIVE OUTLINED
(P.A.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. The ultimate objective of building 16,000 homes yearly in a great housebuilding plan under the rehabilitation scheme was outlined j by the Minister of Supply (Mr. Sullivan) in an address last even- ! ing. v The plan, the Minister said, was being worked out to the most minute detail. The Government had developed as one part of the rehabilitation plan the greatest enterprise that had probably ever been conceived in this country or had ever been attempted. The erection of 16,000 houses yearly would mean the development of training schools for returned soldiers and youths leaving school. It would mean the expansion and development of existing factories for the production of required materials, and I probably the erection of new factories. I The carrying out of such a scheme would stimulate activity in a large number of industries, including the furniture industry, and would do more to inspire people and "ginger up" the country's economic system and provide employment than any other possible scheme. .
