PROPERTY SALES TO SERVICEMEN
Sir,—The Hon. C. F. Skinner's remarks, as reported in your paper on November 21 and your leading article on November 22, make interesting reading to one who owns a property which a returned soldier has been trying to buy for four months. In the end he has been told to come back in six months. What will the answer be then? Should the owner wait and see when he is swamped civilian buyers? The local rehabilitation officer appears to have treated this former soldier with little sympathy; and if this department is genuine, the answer should be yes or no.—Yours, etc.,
MID-CANTERBURY. November 22, 1945. [He was unable to identify such an application, said Mr L. W. Baxter (rehabilitation officer at Ashburton), when this letter was referred to him; but if the correspondent would supply full particulars, including the name of the former serviceman concerned, the position would be investigated,]
