Boarders in State Houses

Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Aug. 27. The New Zoaland R.R.A. recently made representations to tho State Advances Corporation in regard to granting permisison to tenants in Btate houses under certain circumstances to keep boarders or share the house with friends. The association suggested, in particular, that tenancy agreements might be revised to allow the wives of men absent on service to take in boarders to supplement their incomes. The association has been advised that, as a wartime concession, such permission may be granted by the corporation. This does not mean that the clause in the tenancy agreement prohibiting subletting or keeping boarders is relaxed, but that, in certain eases, the corporation is prepared to consider applications on their merits.
