ROOMS TO LET
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —After reading the several letters in your columns I feel that I, too, must add my comments only from the point of view of the young people who wish to be married but who are absolutely unable to find decent flats or houses at reasonable rents in which to live. Like Mr. Morgan O'Flaherty, my eyes too have become sore scanning the "To Let" columns and my feet equally sore tramping from one end of Wellington to the other in search of a suitable house or flat.
The housing problem in Wellington is appalling and anything which I have not been too late to secure has been far above the price my fiance and myself could possibly afford to enable us to marry and set up a home. We read such a lot in the papers about populating this beautiful country of ours, but, Sir, I ask you, what opportunity have we younger people who are willing and able to do so, when it seems absolutely impossible for us to rent houses or flats? I for one would be only too pleased to take every care of a house or flat which I. could rent at a reasonable price and like "Also Wondering" would be only too pleased to hear of someone who could meet this need. —I am, etc.,
HOUSE-HUNTING,
