VAIN SEARCH FOR HOUSE
<t> Auckland Family Hires a Tent Dominion Special Service. Auckland, September 14. After 11 days of futile searching in city and suburban streets for a house for himself, his wife and live children, a returned soldier who arrived at Auckland last Friday week after an absence of about three months is faced with the prospect of making his home in a tent. Driven to desperation after the failure of the tireless efforts of both himself and his wife to find a house, Mr. J. Underwood stated last night that he had hired a tent and had obtained permission to erect it at the _ municipal motor camp at. Western Springs. “We have advertised, answered advertisements and have tried nearly all agencies,*’ said Mr. ITnderw’ood. A\e are willing to pay rent and have a good rent book. We can got good references from a reputable Auckland agent, but our search for a house has tailed. So far we cannot even get rooms. When you say you have children that is the end of it."
