HEAVY GALE
Christchurch Buffeted
(By Telegraph—Press Association.) CHRISTCHURCH, April 28. One of the strongest gales for some years was experienced in the city early this morning. Though of very high velocity, it was not gusty enough to cause the damage which might have been expected. Trees were stripped of leaves, making a big task for city council employees, who were clearing the street channels all day from early morning. Some windows were broken, fences and awnings blown away, and trees down in the city. A tool shed was blown over the road at Sumner causeway. There were short interruptions in the power supply.
