HOSTEL FOR SOLDIERS
Another To Be Provided The question of providing anotherhostel for uniformed men on leave in
Wellington was discussed at a meeting of the Metropolitan Patriotic Committee on Monday, when it was reported that a sub-committee had been looking for suitable premises which would provide accommodation for another 100 men. It was stated by the secretary of the committee, Mr. Ward, M.L.C., that the combined services hostel in Sydney Street, with the use of the Sydney Street hall at weekends, had over the past 18 months shown a net profit of-
£330, without taking into consideration the capital cost. That had been done on a charge of 2/- for beds and 1/- for meals. Certain premises in Victoria Street had been thoroughly inspected by the sub-committee, reported Mr. F. Jones, and' the present tenants were quite prepared to make the rooms available for the purposes of a hostel. It was decided to refer the question back for further consideration and report by the sub-committee.
