SOLDIERS’ HOMES.
MA H I.HOHOirGH 1 SJOTTI.KM ENT. Electric T<*let^raph—Presq Apuooia+aoi) Wellington, December 1 . Replying to Mr R. McCallmn in tin* lionise of Representatives to-day, the Hon. D. If. Guthrie said he could not admit that the soldier settlement in Marlborough had been bought too dearly. The price paid was not too high, but the mistake made was in cutting up the total area into too small holdings. This, however, was being remedied, owing to the fact that some of the occupants were going out and those remaining were being given larger holdings. Replying to Sir John Luke, the Hon. Air Guthrie said he could not give the House any idea when it would be possible to resume loans to soldiers for the purchase of homes. Further. in the present financial state of this account, no new applications could be considered.
