"Very well. I will wait until the Secondi Division is called into camp, and then I will get a house at m.y own price!" ITWjs was tilio retofli of 1a prospective house purchaser to a Masterton resident the other day 1 , when the latter was asking a reasonable figure for his house, and would not roduco his price. "Don't you think this is a disgraceful d|':ate of affaire," remarked the house-owner to a Masterton Times representative. <0 I know this man fa only one of many who really want to buy properties but are holding off unfrl the married men are called into camp, and, in many instances compel led 1 to break up uheir homes. Then these human vultures will have a chance of securing houses at a sacrifice. I intend to mention my experience to the Second Division League, to see if they cannot do something to prevent these .sharks i taking age of the men who are givVsng up practically everything to go and fight for the Empire."
