NO EMPTY HOUSES
CONDITIONS AT NAPIER.
GETTING BACK TO NORMAL.
(Per Press Association). NAPIER, June 12,
The fact that no empty houses are available in Napier is a clear indication that the population of the city is now hack to normal as far as adults are concerned. The relief committee has advertised unsuccessfully for houses in order to clear the parks of the camps, hut tents are still in use. Another feature of the progress being made is the number of families taking hoarders, even in srpall houses, and in some cases two families are sharing cottages. Another good barometer is the circulation of the “Daily Telegraph,” which is back to normal. It is not claimed that all Napier's pre-shake residents are’returned, but their absence is more than bovered by the newcomers, many of whom are old Napier people who have been away for years, and who intend, in many cases, to settle here permanently when houses are available.
Newcomers desiring to come to Napier would be wise to arrange for accommodation beforehand..
