SHORT OF WIRE
4 . SOLDIER SETTLERS NEED FENCING: I MATERIAL. , 1 Some of the returned soldiers settled s on the Porangahau Estate are hampered in their operations for lack of fencing \ wire with which'to enclose their holdings. i Mr. George Hunter, member for Wai- . pawa, made an appeal to the Prime. • Minister on behalf of these men in the I House of Kepresentatives yesterday. He b asked that the Department should supi ply the men with wire in the sami way i as the settlers on the Otawa Block had. , been supplied before Mr. Massey left for . England. Mr. Hunter said that so far t as he could learn the settlers would bavei no difficulty in gottlng; fencing posts, nor - would they have difficulty in stocking--1 their sections if they could enclose them. c Mr. Massey said that he knew from ; correspondence he had received that fencl ing wire was particularly scarce at pre- ; sent. He understood the necessity _of s supplying settlers with fencing material, t and he would ask the Department to send wire to these men, if possible, in f the same way as the Otawa setthtts were , supplied. !
