BOMBED HOMES
72.000' REPAIRED IN ONE WEEK. Millions of pounds have already been spent in repairing bomb damage done in Britain. In a single week the British building industry made 72,000 homes habitable again and local councils which have been carrying out “first-aid'’ repairs now report that tens of thousands of houses have been restored. Through the War Damage Act British householders are entitled to repairs of every description should their homes be damaged by enemy action. Compensation is payable to those who have lost articles of essential furniture, clothing, and domestic utensils. Many thousands of claims have been dealt with. Householders whose homes have been damaged beyond economical repair are to receive cash to help them to get new homes after the war.
