A BLOCK OF FLATS
BUILDING PERMIT REFUSED Bv Telegraph Press Association WELLINGTON, November 15. An application for permission to erect a block of 40 flats in Rolleston Street, which came before the City Council to-night, gave rise to a debate on the future of community housing in the city. The Legal and By-laws Committee of the Council reported adversely on the proposal on the ground that the flats were a radical departure from the building by-laws, and that sufficient air-space had not been provided. In a general discussion members of the Council expressed the opinion that a common courtyard within the planned block would make for undesirable conditions. The application was finally declined.
