HOPEFUL OUTLOOK

A MODEL GARDEN CITY

(By Telegrap'i.—Press Association.) NAPIEE, 10th February. One feature now pleasantly noticeable is the number of smiling countonances to bo seen on all hands, and the few remaining women aro setting a good example in this direction. An' air of confidence is rapidly returning, and all aro looking hopefully forward to a few months ahead, when a model garden city will be successfully planned and in course of construction. In the meantime no building of a permanent character is being permitted. The supply of meals is now on a most satisfactory basis. There is plenty of food, well cooked, and up to time. The military authorities have got the production of meals and-the treatment of everyone down to a fine art, and there is a total lack of confusion. The queues are sometimes a couple of hundred yards long at each cook house, but expedition is the keynote, and it is satisfactory to note tho tone of appreciation from the diners, who sit all over the park. People are still camped on the sea front, and strangers have no difficultyin securing accommodation. Most of tho strangers came to assist, and are remaining to continue the good work. The clearing of tho business area is proceeding with dispatch. Throe bodies not yet identified wore recovered to-day. Identification in one ease is almost assured.
