COUNCIL HOUSES
COSTS AND PRICES QUESTION IN PARLIAMENT (By Telegraph.—Press Association) WELLINGTON, Friday Special attention was drawn in the' House of Representatives this morning by Mr F. Findlay (Opposition— Hamilton) to an aspect of the operation of the Servicemen’s Settlement and Land Sales Act. In notice of a question to the Minister of Housing, the Hon. R. Semple, he asked whether the Government’s attention had been drawn to the attitude of the South Auckland Land Sales Committee when considering an application by the Hamilton Borough Council to sell three recently-built houses to individual purchasers at the cost price. The committee had considered that although the costs were fully proven the prices were too high. Mr Findlay asked whether this expression of opinion would not prevent local bodies throughout the Dominion from undertaking the building of homes for the people and thus intensify the present grave house shortage.
