The present Act deals solely with the housing of employees of Governments Departments. and its provisions with regard to the grant of assistance to authorised societies should be compared with the sections of the Housing Code dealing with Public Utility Societies (88. 62 et seq.).

(2) The Local Government Board may, with the approval of the Treasury, assist any authorised society with whom arrangements are made under this Act on such conditions as they think fit by becoming holders of the share or loan capital thereof or making loans thereto or otherwise as they think fit.
