UNEMPLOYMENT AND RENT.
TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —I was one of the many thousands who listened to the splendid address given in the Town Hall on Anzac Day. It was very appropriate in these times of distress. The reverend speaker asked what some of the landlords were doing to help the poor, and if many of them were making any sacrifices? I am one of the many affected. I have always paid my rent religiously until my husband was put off work a few. months ago. 1 have scratched find scraped, nobody knows bow, to keep tho rent from falling back too far. My husband is now on relief work, and I am willing to pay the rent every week and make up the few weeks 1 am behind as soon as my husband can get into his own trade again, but I have been told to look for another house. 1 really think something should be done in eases of this kind, for if everyone who is a few weeks behind with his rent has to shift the town will be in a fair upheaval. Of course, it will be giving tho carriers more work, but I wonder who will bo able to pay them. Perhaps some of the kind landlords will. —I am, etc., * Sacrifice. April 27.
