HOMES FOR SOLDIERS
DISSATISFACTION CAUSED BY DELAYS. (By Telegraph—Presß Association.) ■ Wannanui, August 19. At a meeting of tiie Wanganui Repatriation Board to-day it was unanimously resolved, in view of the urgent and insistent demand for homes for soldiers and the great disapp<£"atment and* dissatisfaction occasioned By the ■ long delays occurring under the existing method of Government administration:— "That this board again urges that repatriation boards be empowered to arrange for the purchase of houses for returning men under conditions similar to those under which they now grant advances for other purposes." It was urged that if this reoommeiidation were approved the Government would virtu-. ally have to carry little or no risk, as> security would be ample, promptitude would be assured, and all the cause for dissatisfaction would be removed. It was stated that in this district men had had to wait many months without Te6ult,. and others had got sick and tired of waiting and gone elsewhere.
