The Standard accommodation to be provided for married men on the railway construction works at Parnassus, on the South Island Main Trunk line, is claimed to be superior to that erected for the men who were engaged on the Otira tunnel. Each hut will have a kitchen or living room, wash-house, and bathroom, and two bedrooms. It will be lined throughout with artificial boarding made from wood pulp. A range, 12gallon copper with frame and flue, and galvanised iron bath, will be supplied to each familv. No rent will be chaiged for the huts, which will cost from £lOO to £2OO each. The design is such that it will be an easy matter to transport them to the various camps. The new huts for single men will be matchlined.
