STATE HOMES
MANY APPLICANTS IN AUCKLAND “ HOUSING HUNGER ” APPARENT (Per United Press Association) AUCKLAND, Jan. 6, The number of applicants in Auckland alone for State houses exceeds 2200, which indicates the “housing hunger” in this city. It is estimated that at least four new houses a day are required to cope with the demand
The applications for State houses number over 20 a week, and there is little prospect of more than one house daily being available during the next three months, and even then it is unlikely that the number of State houses available will increase to much more than a dozen a week.
