SYMPATHY.
W!TH FLOOD LOSERS
PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM CHRISTCHURCH, Wednesday
The North Canterbury Executive of the Farmers’ Union to-day carried a resolution expressing sympathy with the producers and others who sustained losses through the recent floods. The chairman (Mr W. W. Mulholland) said he was at a loss to suggest how relief could be given to those who had suffered severely. He thought it was a case for the Government to provide relief, and ho believed that if representations were made, they would receive favourable consideration.
In the past Government relief had been given in the case of bush fires; and the damage done by the floods had been much greater than by bush fires. There was no doubt that unless there was some relief obtained, numbers of farmers would have to leave their farms.
