ESTIMATE OF N.Z. HOUSING NEEDS
P.A. AUCKLAND, October 11. Dr. R. G. McElroy, chairman of the housing committee of Auckland City Council, in an address to Auckland Creditmen’s Club made an estimate that it would take six or seven years to overtake the present housing shortage in New Zealand. He said that there was an overall shortage of 30.000 to 35,000 houses in the Dominion. Although the building programme provided for 15,000 houses a year, 10 000 of these were needed for normal annual population needs, and cnly 5000 could be regarded as reducing the back needs.
