HOUSING REFUGEES
PARTY AT CHBJSTCHURCH
(By Telegraph.—Press Association. 1) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. A party of 52 refugees from the earthquake zone arrived in Christohureh last evening. Most of them come from the Upper Matakitaki Valley, and they have pitiful tales to tell of the havoc wrought to their homes and the countryside. "We are all going back," said one o£ the party, "but whether or not we
will be. able to settle again is a question. We will have to save as much of our stock as we can, and recover what we can of our . personal and household goods." The refugees have been billeted for a fortnight.
