Ireland, president of the Otago branch of the Real Estate Institute, at. the annual meeting. He added that costs had prevented the Government from reaching its early objective, and it would rake a. tenant on a substantial salary to finance these houses. Mr. A. McMillan, endorsing this, said the Government was catering, not for the poorer classes, but lor the middle class, with houses costing Cl2OO or ,Cl3OO. The Government should gel land close to the city and build decent tenement houses that could house four families for the cost of one house at Wakari.
