STATE HOUSES AT ORAKEI
-Press AsBOciation.)
First Tenants Move In
(By Telegraph-
AUCKLAND, Last Night. The first tenants of the State houses at Orakei moved into their new hoino to-day. They were Mr and Mrs J. C. Bonham and their two young children. Mr Bonham is physical drill instructor to the Young Men's Christia'n. Association in Auckland. " No ceremony marked the oicupation of the house as was the cas0 when the tenants moved into the first group of State houses at Miramar, Wellington, recently. Mr Bonham was uble to occupy his new house practically unnoticed. Not even a salesman arrived during the operation, although many have vainly approached the Auckland office of the State Advances Corporation during the past few days to find out names of the selected tenants and when they would go into residence. Information on these matters has not been divulged, however. FuTther inspections of the houses allotted to them,were made by the selected tenants to-day. It is expected several of these will take up their residence at the new settlement within the next few days.
