As part of his Public Works Statement for 1937, the Hon. R. Semple (1873-1955), Minister of Public Works, said that one of the major undertakings during the previous year had been the improvement of Wigram in line with the projected expansion of the Royal New Zealand Air Force. Until 1936 unemployed labour was used, but after this "a change-over to regular public works conditions and procedure greatly accelerated the progress of the work"
