p. 107 · Read in the full issue
MR. AXEL S. HANSSON, who is Aus tralasian representative for Swedish pre-fabricated housing units, arrived in Sydney from the Central Pacific Islands in March and will return to Fiji and Tonga in April.
The possibility of obtaining these low priced wooden pre-fabricated houses has interested many people in Pacific terri tories, where the shortage of housing ac commodation is almost as acute as in Australia. However, the Swedish concern requires hard currency payments for its housing units and arranging this is proving difficult, at the moment.
It is reported that the Government of Tonga is interested in obtaining at least 20 of these attractive ready-to-erect houses.
