GAS ATTACKS
SAFEGUARDING NEW ZEALAND. CAUTION ADVISED. WE MUST PREPARE. [Special to “Northern Advocate.”] AUCKLAND, This Day. At last night’s meeting of the Auckland City Council it was proposed that an emergency organisation should be prepared for operation in circumstances, such as those created by an earthquake or a major epidemic. Speaking at a St. John Ambulance meeting today, the Mayor, Mr Ernest Davis, referred to the proposal, and pointed out its possibility in connection with gas attacks in the future. It was possible, he said, that within a few years people of Auckland would be brought under the same rule as has now been introduced in European cities, and they should be prepared for such occasions. People abroad were now being taught what to/do in case of gas attacks, and to be prepared. It was right that New Zealand should advise such prevention.
