Council Plea For Larger Home Loans
Council members urged greater home loan funding at the next meeting as part of a Canberra planning push. Dr. Harrison and Mr. Campbell argued private building must be encouraged and the government should cut the cost of new homes to relieve maintenance and boost growth. The National Capital Development Commission stressed private housing but left the financing question open. Government homes currently cost about 250 000 pounds annually and could rise with city expansion.
