To Be Taken Over
Buildings at the Exhibition AIR-TRAINING WORK OFFICIAL DECISION The Hon. D. G. Sullivan, Minister of Industries and Commerce and president of the New Zealand Centennial Exhibition, announced last week that the Government proposed to take over the Exhibition buildings when the Exhibition closed. The main reason, for ths action, stated the Minister, was that the building could be utilised to advantage in carrying out the expansion involved in New Zealand’s part of the Empire air training scheme. The formula fixing the basis on which these assets will be transferred by the Exhibition Company to the Government had been tentatively agreed upon by a committee representing the directors and by a committee appointed by the Minister, but until the accounts of the Exhibition were completed and the position in regard to various liabilities clarified, it would not be practicable to finalise the exact basis of transfer. In the meantime, therefore, it was not possible to give more definite information arising out of the Government’s decision.
