NAPIER CONDITIONS
.SHARI- SHOCK THIS -MORNING (By Telegraph—Press Association) NAPIER, This Day. The weather is fine, the wind a light north-wester, the, sea smooth, and rivers normal. At 2 a.m. a fairly violent shock, probably the third heaviest since the opening attack, woke everybody. During the next hour it was followed by three others, the severity of each being less than the one preceding it. Minor tremors were frequent, but have now ceased. The people seem to have got their earthquake legs, and even heavy shakes fail to cause excitement. A large meeting at Nelson Park last night made a protest against the charge of four shillings a day inflicted by the committee, but as that body is going into retirement, the agitation, which had been somewhat pronounced in the last few days, will die down. It is suggested that all outsiders not usefully engaged should be sent from the town. A large number were due to leave to-day.
