STATE HOUSE TENANTS
METHODS OF SELECTION SITE FOR SHOPPING CENTRE The methods to be adopted in select ing a limited number of tenants from the many applicants for dwellings erected at Orakei under the Government housing scheme have yet to receive the attention of the department. However, it is understood that there may be a selection of the best qualified, followed by a ballot, which would reduce'the applicants to a number corresponding with the houses that are av aila ble. It is stated that all the houses are to lie let to tenants, although official mention has been made of the possibility that the scheme will eventually also provide dwellings for purchase. Four-roomed houses will comprise 60 per cent of the buildings at Orakei. The question of a shopping centre to serve the residential area which the housing scheme envisages is receiving the consideration of the City Council, Fenton Circus, which was designed for this purpose at the time of the original planning of Orakei as a garden suburb, being the location.
