Surveyor Shortage

The soldier settlement programme has been delayed by a shortage of surveyors, the Lands Minister, Mr Foley, said in a broadcast to-night. The Government was making strenuous efforts to secure experienced surveyors and to attract and train new men. Available surveyors would take years to catch up with arrears of work and current jobs. In addition to staff surveyors the Government was offering scholarships in surveying and cadet surveyors were being appointed under the Public Services Act thereby ensuring their employment after qualification.
