A Home for £l0.

An interesting announcement was made by’ the Prime Minister last week during the discussion upon the State Guaranteed Advances Amendment Act, when he stated that an enlargement of the present liberal assistance now’ rendered to the workers of the Dominion was proposed to be introduced. He held in bis hand a bill which it was intended to introduce this session, under which a, worker might obtain a home by paying an initial deposit of £lO. whilst an annual payment of £25 would wipe out the capital and interest in 26A- years. In addition to the half-yearly payment workers could voluntary reduce their liability by £7 or any multiple of £7. Sir Joseph added that he had not brought down all the Government’s proposals, lest it should be complained they’ were only overloading the order paper without any intention of passing the legislation proposed.
