TOKIO AND YOKOHAMA,
PROGRESS OF REBUILDING
Reference to Japan’s marvellous rectovory from the effects of the earthquake was made at Auckland by the Bishop of South Toldo, the Right Rev. S'. Honshu t. The bishop, who is a through passenger to, Sydney by the Aorangi, has spoilt' 2b years in',Japan. I' “Tokio and Yokohama have, been prac- •’ tk-ally rebuilt,” said Bishop Hoaslrt l. ‘‘Comparatively few traces of the disaster are now apparent.” • The Japunrttte had worked like TiojanL and the appearance, of the'once. ilevaslated regions had been altered out of all recognition. The towns had been rebuilt only in a settii-pwmtmenl stale, however,' because the Government designs for a permanent town-planning sememe had not yet been completed. .Consequently Tokio was not nearly so pretty as before., Unfortunately the undesirable portions which suffered so had been re-established.
