HIGH-GRADE LOW-PRICE HOMES.

“While the £1,500,000 will no doubt be drawn on mainly by city councils, borough councils and town boards desiring to erect necessary housing for their citizens and desiring to give useful employment to local building organisations, applications will also be considered from other responsible authorities, such as harbour boards and power boards, which may desire to undertake schemes of housing construction for their own employees. It is intended that these funds should be used to erect high-grade low-price homes which, while within the reach of the average working man’s pocket, will, at the same time, be a credit to the Dominion. “Full details of the procedure to be adopted by the Ministry of Housing will be printed as soon as possible and circulated to all local bodies. “Already a strong desire to stimulate local building and local business bv taking advantage of the Government’s proposals is in evidence in many localities; and no doubt, as the which the money will be available exceedingly favourable terms upon become known local bodies will be only too pleased to co-opir. ate with the Government in creating good social conditions based on sound planning.”
