HASTINGS REFUGEES
EARLY RETURN URGED [Per Pres- Association.] HASTINGS, March 9. The Registration Officer (Mr S. Averill) requests all residents of the town to return at the earliest opportunity. The request is urgent, and is made for two reasons —(1) Repairs to houses and business premises and demolition where necessary cannot be decided upon or carried out without the authority of owners or occupants. (2) He felt that the extreme kindness of the people who offered to refuge absentees from the district should not be trespassed upon and absentees now remaining absent run a risk with regard to necessary and immediate actions being performed by the authorities to enable a general return of residents. The restrictions previously existing against the occupancy of homes have been cancelled, and permits to travel regardloss of the mode chosen must be obtained by letter or telegram from Air Averill, registration officer. The permit will be immediately posted.
