A recent visitor to Napier is of opinion that the capital of Hawke’s Bay has a splendid future. He refers to the large areas of land forced up by the earthquake and the satisfactory work being done in dewatering those areas and getting rid of the salt. The residential portions of the town, particu larly out in the direction of Taradale, have greatly improved, and considerable building has been done in the com paratively short space of one yeai. “There are hundreds of new cottages,” he said, "and there are few towns in New Zealand looking better than Napier is looking to-day.” He men tioned the Marine Parade, and added that the business people were steadily improving the gala lighting as funds accrued.
