DEMOLITION OF HOUSES.
OFFERS MADE TO TENANTS. |,BY TKLXQKAPB.—PBESS ASSOCIATION.] WELLINGTON. Monday.
A private deputation from the Central Progress League io-day met the Minister for Labour, Hon. G. J. Anderson, with reference to an endeavour being made to relaise a site on Te Aro flat for the erection of a match factory. It was stated subsequently that the position was now as follows: —
On the land acquired by the company ther e wore 29 houses standing and occupied. It is necessary to obtain possession of nine of these before building can bo started. The company has been most generous in its terms to the tenants, offering one year's rent to any of the nine who were out by the beginning of this month. This offer is being extended for 14 days. The Government has offered to build houses costing £650 for the persons now in residence on the property, and in order that there may be no difficulty in accepting this proposition the company will find the deposits. There are only four children in the nine houses of which possession is desired. If the houses are not vacated by May 14, the company . will.take legal steps to obtain possession, as it is held that the offers of the Government and the company justify such action.
