RESTORATION MEASURES
INCREASINGLY URGENT REPRESENTATIONS TO PRIME MINISTER (By Telegraph—Press Association) NAPIER, This Day. The weather at Napier this morning was fine and sunny, with no wind. There has been an absence of shocks since last evening. The following telegram was sent to the Prime Minister by Mr Barnard, M.P. for Napier: “The big question of what measures are to be taken, and when, for the restoration of the earthquake area is becoming increasingly important and ' urgent. After much thought and consultation with my numerous constituents I desire to recommend for your favourable consideration, first that the Government immediately cause comprehensive arrangements to be made for the ascertainment of the total loss suffered through the earthquake and fire; secondly, that a commission or other suitable body be set up immediately to investigate and advise as to the best methods for the rehabilitation of the earthquake area. I urge that both steps are necessary so that Parliament may have sufficient facts and advice before it when the coming session begins, to consider and decide on the measures to be adopted for the restoration of the district.”
