RECOMMENDATION BY WAR RELIEF ASSOCIATION.
Wellington, March 26.
Tho question of tho provision of housing accommodation for returning soldiers was discussed.by the War Relief Association to-day, and a resolution passed, "That, owing to tho shortage of houses in the large towns in New Zealand, the Government at once proceed to erect houses in the principal centres, and that the houses, when ouilt, should be sold to soldiers on easy terms."
Another resolution urges the Governmint to remove the limitation placed on the . mounts advanced by the Advances to Settlers Department in order that soldiers may be enabled to acquire iiouses for themselves under the provisions of tho Act.
The War Relief Association also passed a resolution that, as the rights of soldiers’ wives and children arc recognised when a pension is made- permanent, and as it is impossible for any man who has a wife and children to live on 30s a week, the Government be again urged that where a provisional pension certificate is issued to a married soldier, a similar provisional ccr : tificatc should be made for his wife and children.
