WORKERS' HOMES— MUNICIPAL ENTERPRISE.

WELLINGTON, April 9

The City Council to-night resolves! that the city should immediately acquire land on which to erect houses for suitable tenants, and that the Council endeavor to arrange with the Harbor Board means of providing wharf employees and others with homes at rents reasonably proportionate to their earnings. The Council will hold a special meeting in two months' time to further discuss the matter. The Council decided to place a sum of £1000 on the estimates for the coming year for the development of the zoo and to provide salary for a caretaker.
