16,000 HOUSES
FOR RETURNED SOLDIERS
ONLY
The 16,000 houses to be built under the rehabilitation scheme outlined by the Minister of Supply (Mr. Sullivan) last week will be for returned soldiers and not for the civil population, according to Miss Mabel Howard, Labour Party candidate in the Christchurch East by-election."" Miss Howard made this point, says the Christchurch "Press," in answer, she said, to some/apparent misunderstanding and some criticism she had read. She had been told this recently, she said, when she had learned of the hope that 16,000 houses would be built in the first year after the war. Returned soldier trade trainees would help to build the houses. She had also been told that 100 homes had already been built for returned soldiers.
