In the past two to three weeks, some of these families had
moved to new homes and the bulk will be moving out next month.
At present, there are about 150 back-to-back type flats in
the block, but this number will be reduced by approximately half as
a result of knocking out centre walls. When the work has been
completed, flat sizes will range from 160 square feet for three
persons to 440 square feet for 10 persons, and rents from $75 $190
per month.

Each converted flat will be provided with a private balcony,
tap, sink and detached toilet.
A spokesman for the Housing Authority said that, with work
going on around them, tenants were bound to experience some inconvenience,
but it would be kept to a minimum and he felt they would be willing
to accept this in order to get improved accommodation.
