GIVEN AS PUBLIC HALL
COMMUNITY BANKS’ BUILDING. NAPIER EARTHQUAKE ERECTION. By Telegraph—Press Association. Napier, Oct. 17. The building known as Community Banks, erected immediately after the 1931 earthquake at a cost of £5OOO, will become vacant by the week-end, as all the banks will have moved to their new premises. The building has been donated by the banks to 38 unemployed who were successful in gaining five-acre sections in the village settlement just south of the borough on land raised by the same upheaval. The building was constructed by the Fletcher Construction Company in 10 days, and will be re-erected as a public hall for the benefit of the settlers.
