The following resolution was passed by the Nelson City Council, which with a few additions including Murchison representatives comprises the Nelson Relief Committee: "That this Council desires to express to Sir Joseph Ward, its grateful thanks for his Government's very prompt response to all requests made for the purpose of alleviating distress and the disorganisation resulting from the recent earthquake. ■

The Council also desires to convey its great appreciation of the very line services so willingly rendered "ay the various Government departments concerned, notably the -railway service, the telegraph and telephone service and the Public Works Service in keeping transport possible, all being onerous and the two latter at times distinctly dangerous.

In connection with the problem of devastation relief, the future will entail considerable "work and expenditure and we trust the local committee will continue to receive the same sympathy and practical assistance." . i
