An important gift by Lord and Lady Melchett was announced by Sir Samuel Hoare, the Secretary of State for Air, speaking at Chelsea Town Hall in support of local housing projects.
Lord Melchett has purchased one and three-quarters acres of land near Chelsea Town Hall for the erection of new buildings for the Chelsea Health Society, of which Lady Melchett is president, and in connection with which accommodation will be found for rehousing the various voluntary health organizations in the borough. “This generous gift,” added Sir Samuel Hoare, “will make it possible for Chelsea to have a model home for its various health activities.”
