VISIT BY ARCHBISHOP AVER-ILL
“Our principal needs are to restore the damaged buildings and to find means of providing for the stipends of-the elery during the period of stress.” said Archbishop Averill, upon Ills arrival in the earthquake area last week. It is the intention of the Archbishop to appeal to the church people of New Zealand to raise a substantial fund to assist the diocese of Waiapu in its present need. Tlic General Synod has already granted £SOO toward the restoration of die bishop’s house at Napier, and iris absolved' the diocese from ail payments to the provincial, funds for three rears.
Archbishop Avcrill said* he was glad to find that the damage to Te Ante College, though severe, was not as had as had been believed. The central block, the tower of which bad fallen, would have to be demolished, but the wings could be repaired and tho wooden buildings were intact. It was intended to re-open the college without much delay for the benefit of those scholars on whose behalf a Government subsidy was payable, but the others could nob be taken hack until accommodation had been prepared for them.
