BUILDING OF HOUSES
MORE LIBERAL ASSISTANCE SOUGHT (United Press Association) CHRISTCHURCH, October 1. Timber merchants, builders, and those engaged in allied building trades in Canterbury are co-operating in a Do-minion-wide campaign to impress upon the Government the necessity for liberalizing the State Advances scheme. It is proposed that a deputation of representatives of the whole of the Dominion should wait on the Prime Minister (the Rt. Hon. M. J. Savage) and the Minister in Charge of the State Advances Corporation (the Hon. W. Nash) at an early date with a request that more liberal assistance be given for the building of houses for individual ownership. Preliminary arrangements for representation from Canterbury in the deputation were made at a meeting held in Christchurch yesterday afternoon, and it was decided to meet again next week after the various organizations represented had been able to discuss the proposals. __________
