FLATS DISAPPROVED
FUTURE OF COMMUNITY HOUSING WELLINGTON CITY COUNCIL’S VIEWS. (Per United PreES Association) WELLINGTON, November 16. An application for permission to erect a block of 40 flats in Rolleston street, which came before the Wellington City Council to-night, gave rise to a debate on the future of community housing in the city. The Legal and By-laws Committee of the council reported adversely on the proposal on the ground that flats were' a radical departure from the building bylaws and that sufficient air space had not been provided. In a general discussion members of the council expressed the opinion that a common courtyard within the planned block would make for undesirable conditions, and the application was finally declined.
