RURAL HOUSING
PROVISIONS NOT EFFECTIVE. Commenting on the latest announcement concerning the Governmet’s intentions regarding loans to local bodies to permit of the erection of houses in rural areas, primarily for farm iworkers, a district farmer expressed the opinion this-morning that the Act is useless. “And I guess the Minister knows it,” he commented. “The County Coundil representstives should tell him so at the conference in Hamilton to-morrow. The principal objection to the scheme is that the Government and the county councils are well protected, and the men whom it is designod to benefit, working farmers, have no protection at all under the Act.” The speaker proceeded to briefly outline the scheme, as published, and suggested that it would need overhauling before the farmers would make much use of it.
