SOLDIERS' HOMES
AUSTRALIAN ACTIVITIES (Received June 22, 3 p.m.) SV IJNRV, June 22. The Commissioner for War Service Homes reports that the commission has expended nearly £24.000,000 in the erection of nearly 31,000 soldiers' homes all over the Commonwealth, and in the purchase of land in anticipation of further applications. Roans amounting to £10,000,000 had been repaid as an indication of the increased efficiency of the organisation, and the manner in which purchasers are meeting their obligations. Arrears in instalments are equal only to 1 per cent., while administrative losses, which in 1926 totalled £42,000, were last year changed into a surplus of £22,000. It is'anticipated that the current year's surplus will be greater.
