CITIZENS WARNED
Safety Precautions (P.A.) DUNEDIN, February 23. A warning to householders in Dunedin that it was time they took precautions for their safety, as had already been done by owners of many business premises, was issued to-day by the Mayor (Mr A. H. Allen). It was estimated, he said, that the business premises shelters now being arranged by architects would provide protection for 7076 persons. In respect to public shelters and dispersal areas the total provision so far completed or in hand covered about 900 acres, and provided accommodation for a further 8000 persons in trenches or shelters. “It should be emphasised,” Mr Allen added, "that residents of the city generally should now take the necessary steps for their protection in their own homes in the event of enemy action.”
