Planthy, J.P.', 23 July 1920, p10: 'I find the little I got for rnt is not enough to support m and my daughter who lives with me, the cost of living is so high and RATES on property increasing every year, th BOARD of health is now demanding new sanitary fixtures, which will run me into £8 and the sanitary rate has gone up £2 and special rate for redemption of loans is now struck and payable, therefore for my few declining years I must seek some help from my adopted country'
