COMMONWEALTH CAPITAL
SLUMP IN PRELIMINARY WORK. * Press Association—By Telegraph.—Copyright. MELBOURNE, January 27. It was stated in evidence before the Public Works Committee that the Federal capital site at Canberra is not progressing at the estimated speed. Whereas there were calculated to be from 2000 to 3000 men employed, at present there are only 400. The public are showing little interest in the progress of works, and are not evincing any desire to acquire building sites.
