POST-’QUAKE SURVEY
Cost of £9Ol to Hastings Borough Council PAYMENT BY INSTALMENTS Another echo of the 1931 earthquake was sounded recently when the Hastings Borough Council was adviaed that the Lands and Survey Department, having completed their standard survey, now requested the payment of £9Ol, the cost of the work involved. The survey was deemed necessary by the department as the result of the destruction of the pegs following the earthquake and the work occupied between two and three years. It was carried but entirely by the Government, who in the first place merely advised the council of the necessity of the work being done and of the foct that arrangements had been made for the survey to be made. The Mayor, Mr. G. A. Maddison, intimated this morning that arrangements had been made with the department for the payment of this sum, £9Ol, at the rate of £125 per annum. Though only a small sum, relatively speaking, it will be an additional amount each year that the r: I epayers will be called upon to pay ;.nd will have to be taken into coiv < cation by the Hastings Borough ouncil when it considers the estim-ici, for the current year.
