PRINCE MAKES APPEAL.
Commends Housing Schemes to Architects. British Official Wirele3*. RUGBY, May 4. Speaking at the annual banquet to celebrate the opening of the summer exhibition of the Royal Academy, the Prince of Wales emphasised the opportunity which the great housing schemes offered to architects. “I refer,” he said, ‘‘to the rehousing of those workers who are still unfortunately living in lowly dwellings and under conditions they should hot be. The rehousing of these people can only be achieved by keeping rents down- to one-fifth or one-sixth of their wages, and this can very greatly be helped by the co-operation of the architect and the building trade. From some study of the whole question the solution appears to be in simplicity of exterior and interior design, in order to provide the most up-to-date modern appliances, embodying conveniences, cleanliness and labour saving.”
