OLD RAILWAY CAMPS.
married women remaining DIFFICULT SITUATION. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent) GISBORNE, Friday. Three months have passed since the married men from the railway camps between Gisborne and Waikokopu were evacuated to works on Te Teko-Galatea •Road and at Arapuni, yet many of the men's families are still living in the lonely camps along the Gisborne-Wai-kokopu route. Some women have been able to join their husbands, facing conditions much inferior to those in the railway camps rather than further separation, but in several of the camps where married men have been sent the accommodation is unsuitable for married women. There -are still some single men in the old railway camps, and they have been given a little work from time to time, caring for materials brought into the depots after the suspension of the construction of the line, this work provides the men with little money, but they have shelter in the camps.
