GEOLOGISTS' REPORT
NO MORE BIG SHAKES
IMMUNITY FOE MANY YEARS
NAPIEK, .This Day. Dr. Henderson, Director of Geological Survey, and Dr. Marshall, of tho Public Works Department, have issued the following report:—"Geological opinion is based upon tho experience gained in previous earthquakes not only in Now Zealand but in all parts of the world. Speaking on this basis, therefore, it can be definitely stated that the course of the present disturbance is decidedly past, and although numerous shakes and tremors may be recurring, they will not approach in magnitude tho first very severe shakes, but will gradually diminish on the average from now onwards. A long period of earthquakes in this particular area is most unlikely, and we think it can bo stated that this locality will be relatively immune from earthquakes for a long period of years."
