ARCHITECTS’ CRITICISM INVERCARGILL February 26 At the annual conference of New- Zealand Builders’ and Contiac tors’'Federation Union of Employei ® to-day, some comment was mac the suggestion broadcasted in, tion with the recent earthquake disas ter in Hawke’s Bay that the extent both of the ruined buildings and of the loss of life was attributable m a measure to faulty work by buildeis and tradesmen. The view was expressed by several delegates who had visited the stricken area that such a suggestion was quite unwarranted and without any foundation of fact. . The following motion was carried unanimously after some discussion.-— “That the New Zealand Builders’ and Contractors’ Federated Union of Employers deprecates the action of individual architects in making public statements concerning the workmanship of certain of the buildings destroyed in the recent disaster which occurred in the Hawke’s Bay district, before a thorough investigation of all the circumstances surrounding the erection of such buildings.”
