New residences built in the borough number 80, against 89 last year. Bankruptcies in the Hawke’s Bay district during the year just closed number 23, compared with 27 in 1924, 53 in 1923, and 73 in 1922, thus showing a greatly improved position. Five of this year’s total failures were the result of creditors’ petitions.
