Brookfields and Pakowhai is being enjoyed by the flat portions of Napier, which, before the earthquake, were subject to inundation in the event of abnormal conditions in the Tutaekuvi, states the lo.egrnph of Monday. It was generally realised that the raising of the land 'within the limits of Napier by about 6 or 7ft, would give additional protection to Napier, and the effects of the present conditions appear to support this belief.

Notable among these is the Meanee-Pakowhai road near the Brookfields bridge, and the Twvfnrd district.
