is in hand, and three flats should be ready for occupation about the
middle of July.
From the above it will be seen that, providing the necessary
materials and labour are available, 514 houses should be completed
this year.
Arrangements are being made for the purchase of additional
sites for both houses and flats in various parts of the district, and
providing the necessary money is forthcoming, the work will be
pushed forward without delay.
Five houses were represented as unfit for human habitation
during the year.
Section 28 of the Housing Act, 1919, was not put into operation
last year.
Your obedient servant,
D. J. THOMAS.
