* * * * Mass - Production of Houses At the
centenary dinner of the the Prince of Wales uttered . wise _ and timely words which may be commended to the attention of the Minister of Health. He pointed out that the time has come when architects, observing what has been- done by industrialists, should apply their talents to the mass-production of houses, with a view to producing attractively and at low costs amenities of life which formerly existed only for the well-to-do. A day or two earlier - Sir Hilton Young was explaining the new building tasks which will -be imposed upon the local authorities under the overcrowding Bill, and was speaking of the housing council which is to be established to. advise the Ministry of Health. If the ideal held out by the Prince is to be attained, so far as this new housing measure is concerned, it can only be by unification of effort ; and the housing council appears to be the only means afforded by Sir Hilton Young for securing such unification. It is to be hoped that this council will be given really important functions.
