Homes for Employees
“The time appears opportune for our association to press for legislation giving local bodies clear powers to require the vacation of houses by employees, when they • cease to be employees,” commented Mr R. G. Young of Hamilton, president of the New Zealand Land Drainage and River Boards Association, in the annual report to the Dominion conference in Palmerston North. “Some member associations have already commenced housing schemes .to assist them -jn >the services of good employees, but practically the only safeguard at present, and it' is not a very strong one, is for the rent to be assessed as high as possible and make a 10s to 15s a week reduction to the employee while he is a servant of the particular board. Then if he leaves or is dismissed the full rent operates.”
