FUTURE OF ORANJE CAMP AREA

(P.A.) AUCKLAND, July 30. In settlement.of the issue whether the Oranje Camp area should reveTt to the Auckland Hockey Association or be used to house families of former servicemen it was finally decided to-day that, subject to the approval of Cabinet, a start will shortly be made to transfer the camp buildings to other localities, where they will be erected as permanent accommodation units. Thirty-six families will be able to move into the Oranje Camp buildings, in the Meantime, in some endeavour to alleviate the accommodation problem. The camp * buildings will be removed in stages until the whole area is cleared within 18 months and the grounds at Oranje Camp will revert to the hockey association by 1948. These decisions were announced by the Prime Minister (Mr. Fraser) this morning after a conference with the interested parties.
