of a previous selection of plans. They tell me this . mnh will pay any amount to get labour and tbero is a good deal of dissatisfac­ tion amongst builders. I thi-nk iio sliould not l>o allowed to pay 2d. i>cr hour more than CUtlioroo contractors, ’iliis man, I am told, has any amount of money and does not care how lie spends it. Tiio Clminnan (Mr. M.

not Muder.dood that if there was any Imihl- ing of noccs-sitv in our district this particular


work at Eaves Hall was to cease? The Surv'oyor: They say they nro not em-

of luxurv* building you can stop the work if it interferes with vour housing schemes. Mr. Tattoreall: There is a scheme for tins
