Reference was made by the Minister for Mines in an address to the Town Planning Conference to-day, to the housing conditions in West Coast mining centres, and an indication was given that remedial measures would have to be undertaken.

The problem! to be solved in the mining industry was part of the problem of housing and town planning generally, and the result of the present conference’s deliberations should be of material assistance in arriving at a solution. / -i , The Hon.
