TE ARO FLAT
CLEARANCE PROPOSALS
A survey of Taranaki Street, to facilitate the widening of the street and the clearance of dilapidated buildings, is to be undertaken as soon as possible. A recommendation to this effect was made to the City Council last evening by the housing and town planning committee and was approved. It was also decided that as the Housing Improvement Bill has now become law the city engineer be instructed to prepare definite recommendations for ihe first reclamation area in Te Aro Flat with its complementary rehousing scheme. Authority was given to negotiate with the Government for the purchase of an area at the head of. Holloway Road for re-housing purposes and for* the city engineer to have plans prepared for the erection of eight houses on the area. The Mayor (Mr. Appleton) said he thought all would agree that it was time the council made a definite move in the clearance of unsightly buildings in the Taranaki Street area. In regard to the proposal to erect houses in Holloway Road, such provision was necessary so that alternative accommodation would be available for people put out of their present homes in the Taranaki Street area.
