A substantial place of worship, to cost between £2OOO and £3OOO, is to be erected in Napier, on the site of St. John’s Cathedral. It will be commenced in about a month’s time. A tender has been accepted for clearing the ruins from the site. The new church is being planned so that it will be in many respects of similar layout to the old cathedral. It will accommodate 500 people. Care is being taken to make the building as handsome as possible. It will be erected in the middle of the old site, and some metal memorial plates found to have been undamaged by the fire and earthquake, will adorn its walls.
