P.M.’s House Not Repaired
Although most houses damaged in the hurricane which swept Wellington on Wednesday have been repaired and made water-tight, the Wellington home of the Prime Minister (Mr Holyoake) appears to have been overlooked. Mr Holyoake’s three-storey house in Pipitea Street, in the centre of Wellington, lost tiles
■ and was damaged quite exten- , sively inside by rainwater. Tarpaulins have been placed over the holes in the roof, but I the damage has not been re- - paired. Mr Holyoake laughed - about the situation at a press > conference last evening and said: “We appear to have 'l been neglected. But we are ’I not nearly as bad as thousands > of others.”—(P.A.)
