SEARCH FOR HOUSE

EXPERIENCE IN AUCKLAND. AUCKLAND, September 16. After 11 days of futile searching m the city and’suburban streets for a house for himself, his wife, and five children, a returned soldier who arrived in Auckland on Friday week last after an absence of about three months, is faced with the prospect of making his homo in a tent. Driven to desperation after the failure of the tireless efforts of both himself and his wife to find a house Mr J. Underwood stated last night that he had hired a tent and had obtained permission to erect it at the municipal motor camp at Western Springs. “We have advertised, answered advertisements and have tried nearly all the agencies,” said Mr Underwood. "We are willing to pay rent and we have a good rent book. We can get good references from a reputable Auckland agent, but our search for a house has failed so far. We cannot even get rooms. When you say you have children that is the end of it.”
