It was contended that it was the ■ duty of the Government to find work ■ for these men. The position was ! described as unsatisfactory, and a motion was carried demanding that the Government should provide work for returned soldiers. • Consent has been given for the raising of the folowing loans at !>i per cent.: -- Wairna Harbour Roard. harbour conJ stmction nt Waikokopu, £10,000; Te Awamutu Borough Council, sewerage, . £10.000; Mannkati County Council, reiiewii)>r bridsn-H, £")00O: Manukau County .Council, prectinc county oftices, £4500; • llanurewii Town Board, forming new road. £1000: Auckland City Council, extension, and equipment of existiug elecifric power station, £")00.000: Pvitangata County Council, renewing all bridges in county.purchasing bridge plant, and i erecting engineer's and workmen's cot- ■ tnges, £200.000. !

Anyj way it can oasilv be let at a good rent." ; The Wellington War Relief Association finds the number of applications for relief steadily increasing. This is put down largely to the fact that a number of men were demobilised (it A who were, not really fit. This is the result of the men having declared themselves fit to the Medical Board on transports prioT to disembarkation in New Zealand, the cause in most cases being a natural desire to return to their relatives and resume civilian life. Had they stated their disability they would have received treatment at once, but now they find it more- difficult to recover their health. The association also linds it difficult to assess the exact amount of relief they are entitled to. It is considered that the association's work will be at least arduous for sonic years to come. ! The New Zealand coastal shipping companies are beginning to experience a serious slumi) in cargo carrying. The representative of n prominent company i stated to-night J.hat he was afraid some iof the company's boats would have to ';iv up shortly owini; to slackness of trade. Home liners were coming to the • Dominion with only small cargoes of \ coal or in ballast. Liners leaving for England had in some cases nnly one-sixth of their general carr*o space taken up. j This had a serious effect on the smaller ertastnl vessels. I'nless things improved the position would be serious. He added I that some services would not bo affected. ias their work ii to carry Dominion produce from port to port for local consumption. Mr. K.
