“It is like the Chinaman’s shop window —very nice in front,” said a member of the Te Aro Advancement Association, when suggesting that the slum area at the back of Cuba Street might be eliminated. An interesting sidelight on the housing shortage and high rents .was afforded in the course of a bankruptcy inquiry at Auckland. “What rent are you paying?” asked the official assignee of bankrupt. “Two pounds for a small place at Milford,” was the reply, “and in addition it costs me about 10s a week for fares to town.” “Could you not get a place somewhere nearer the city for that rent?’'* queried Mr Fisher. “Not a hope,” was the reply (reports the “New Zealand Herald”). “We had a place in Epsom some time ago, and the rent was £3 10s a week.” “It is cruel!!’ was the assignee’s comment. ■; The sale of work which was held. last week end in Chalmers Hall, will be continued this afternoon at 2 o’clock.
