“Hard and unfeeling ns it may seem to some of you who suffered so severely in the I!KH disaster. I have never wavered in my opinion that that disaster immeasurably enhanced your opportunities of making Napier one of Ibe safest, most convenient, and most attractive towns within (he Dominion,” said Mr, J. W. Mawson, former director of town planning in New Zealand, during tin address at Napier. “In one day Nature did for you what would have taken perhaps 25 years to achieve in the work of reclaiming land necessary for the expansion of development of the borough and the removal of buildings standing in the way of urgently needed street improvements."
