Housing Commission Homes in Geraldton Debated
Letter from Geraldton on April 4 1940 criticizes the Housing Commission over delays in finishing homes including painting. Frank I Eaton argues tradesmen were diverted to other blocks yet many houses remain unoccupied awaiting kitchen and bathroom completion and painting. He defends private builders and asserts workers should be free to fix and paint as needed, urging no special priority for the Commission.
