CHRISTCHURCH, May 23.

The Chairman (Mr W. W. Mulholland) said he was at a loss in suggesting how relief could he given to those who had suffered severely. He thought it was a case for the Government to provide relief, and he believed that if representations were made they would receive favourable consideration.

There was no doubt that unless there was sopre relief obtained numbers of farmers would have to leave their farms.
