Houses For Single People
Sir, —In most of the election addresses being delivered by the various sitting members, as well as those candidates aspiring to be elected to Parliament, they stress the great importance of the question of housing for families. The Labour members and Ministers talk, in ijiost exaggerated terms, of the wonderful boon that has been conferred upon the community by their policy of building State houses. I think it is a pity that these gentlemen make the omission in their various addresses, iu dealing with the question of housing for the many single men and women, as well as widows and widowers, who are compelled by cimcumstances to live in apartment houses, and who are required to pay as much rent for their one room in very old houses with no modern conveniences, as that of a State house with every up-to-date contrivance for making life comfortable and livable. I hope the time will come when the many apartment houses will be subject to inspection, and so ensure that the above section of the community may be enabled to live under proper conditions.—l am. etc., EQUITY. ■Wellington. September 21.
