New Housing Scheme.
On the 25th January, 1922, the Housing Committee reported that
the Minister of Health was prepared to approve the erection of not more
than 50 flats, provided the Council are able to acquire a site at a price
which he would be justified in approving, and that tenders can be obtained
at prices which compare favourably with those obtaining elsewhere.
With regard to the acquisition of land for the purpose of the scheme,
the Minister would be prepared to arrange for the District Valuer at once
to open negotiations for the purchase of a site in Hortensia-road, which
the Borough Council considers could probably be obtained at a reasonable
figure.
The Borough Council resolved that the Minister of Health be asked
to arrange for the District Valuer to open negotiations for the purchase
of a site in Hortensia-road, suitable for the erection thereon of 50 flats
for housing the working classes.
