RENTING OF STATE HOUSES
APPLICATIONS FOR FIRST BLOCK Applications have been invited for the renting of the first block of 22 State houses in Invercargill and many prospective tenants have submitted their names for consideration. It is expected that the first houses to be finished will be ready for occupation in about a month, but the full block probably will not be finished for several months, as in some cases little more than the foundations have been constructed. The Housing Department has not yet advised the procedure to be followed in letting the houses, but in other centres ballots have been held and it is thought probable that the same system will be adopted in Invercargill. The rents to be charged range from £1 a week for' sections of the two-unit houses to £ll5/- for the largest single dwellings.
