HOSTESS HOUSE SCHEME.
ACCEPTANCE OF TENDER. The residence recently acquired close to the military camp at Papakura to be used as a hostess house for the accommodation of visiting -women relatives and fiancees of soldiers is to be completely renovated. A tender for the work was accepted last night by the Auckland Provincial Patriotic Council. The cost will be £500. It was reported that the transfer of the property to the National Patriotic Fund Board and the Provincial Council jointly had been completed.
On the motion of the chairman, Sir Ernest Davis, the council expressed appreciation of the initiative shown by Mrs. W. R. Wilson, in bringing the project forward. The hostel would be of great value to country people, he said, and the military authorities were pleased that it was being established.
