Napier, completclv destroyed by the earthquake and fire of Eobruarv last year, is to he rebuilt at a co t of .€-10,0(10. the •‘Daily Telegraph” remarks that tho erection of the new Masonic Hotel will mark the most progressive step in the direction of reconstruction in Napier since the earthnuakc. Thoro is probably no larger site in the devastated hnsines- area of Napier which will be completely covered by a single building and. from the point of view of value, the property probnblv stands alone again. The commencement of the werk of construction will unquestionably give a- ft lip to reconstruction on adjoining section.-, as it has long been recognised that the owners o' various properties in the devastated area must he influenced by decisions reached in respect of sueh valuable site., as the Masonic block and the Napier City Council's 'Market deserve block, on 3 portion of which a modern business building is now in the cour-o of erection. Tho site has frontage* -n four streets, the Marine Parade. Upper Tennyson street, Hasting.? sheet, and Upper Emerson street and. except for two relatively small section? on one corner, owned bv the Bank of Australasia and the National Bank of New Zealand, c ccppies the whole of the area enclosed by those 'borough fares.
