THE HAWKES BAY BUSH FIRES.
[by telegraph.—press association.] Napier, Monday. At a meeting of the Bush Fires Relief Committee to-day, the Mayor announced the receipt of £100 from Wanganui. One gentleman deprecated appeals for outside assistance, as Hawke's Bay was quite wealthy enough to subscribe all the money necessary, as was done on a similar occasion two years ago, when £1000 was locally raised. A sub-committee was appointed to personally investigate all claims for relief, and to report on the amount needed to reinstate all settlers in the positions they were in before the fire. It is thought the funds will be quite sufficient to do this.
