The Housing Question. As the cost of rent, fcod and clothing increases the difficulty of making ends meet in this Colony becomes more boats. With re- gard to the housing problem a correspondent last weak made the excellent suggestion-not, how ever, by any means new-that the Government fix rentals 'on the basis of the notual valuation ‘af. properties. He was followed by another writor who seemed to nee an easy way out of the difficulty by an all-round raising of salaries. To alleviate conditions the GOT" ernment has built accomodation for a considerable proportion of its staff; it bas also made roads and shown a praiseworthy dis- position to sell land where sites are available, Building syndi- cates have also been formed and moderately priced accomodation has been obtained by a fortunate few in this way.
