PETONE WORKERS HOMES.
[BY TELEGRAFH. OWN correspondent.] Wellington, Sunday. The Minister for Labour is confident that the , remaining unlet workmen's homes at Petone will not be long before they are occupied. There are 12 let, and applications are for more. ... It is interesting, to compare the different results achieved elsewhere with the manner in which the buildings have "hung fire" in this centre, where the ordinary rents have the reputation of being the highest in the colony. In Christchurch Mr. March has 90 applications 'n for 14 houses, while in Auckland the houses available were over-applied for at once. In fact, it is probable that when the Minister is in Auckland next week he will authorise the drawing of plans for a further number of houses.
