The great tract of country fti the Poverty Bay district known 'as the Urewera , Country -was' the subject an appeal by Mr P. KeeganV.of Taneatua, at the Farmers' Union-Con-ference at-Auckland, 1 wh^'he r'nVbVed that the Government be urged to open up the area .' It was an area>/one and a-half million acres, he *said^arid was all splendid' bush country. \ It^was equally as good'as- the land-oh the""&is borne 'side, a'tfd would be admirably adapted for sheep. ( Eufopean^seftfers had constructed good metal roads right up to the boundary, and with the completion of the East Coast railway, it would he made easily accessible." At present the country was declared^ a N scenic reserve,( and this restriction ' would first have to be removed' before negotiations could be* entered into with the natives. The 'motion was carried. A^ day that will always be remembered by settlers in the - Christchurch district in the early '/fifties" is 1, May 15. On this date, in 'the yeaje^gsi, one lof the most '"violent sdtift^west storms that has ever* bee&j experienced in the district swept down in full force upon Christchurch. While its fury raged two men lost their lives. One man was .killed m .the 'Richmond district, and further out on the plains. Speaking to a Lytteltoc Times reporter, Mr W. Guise Brittan, one of the earliest settlers in this dis trie% recalled that storm and commented on the meteorological phenomenon that May 15, or a period with in a few hours of that date, had almost invariably been marked by heavy storms frotti'«he south-west the date marking the commencement of the Teal winter. Mr Brittan who has made "a study of-the subject; also remarked that on oY about the shortest day (June 22) there was always a warm north-west blowing. 1 - Watson's No iq is the.
