WONDERFUL WORK
Prime Minister’s Tribute “I want io express my appreciation of the wonderful work done by the city engineer and his‘department, by the E.P.S. wardens*, by the accommodation and evacuation units, and by the police,” said the Prime Minister, Mr. Fraser, yesterday, in referring to tlie earthquake. He added that the Government would give them every support and assistance. Mr. Fraser was in touch yesterday with the mayors and parliamentary representatives of Featherston,’ Martinborough, Greytown, Carterton, Masterton, Eketahuna, Levin and Palmerston North. "it would appear,” be said, “that Eketahuna was about the centre of the disturbance. but that Wellington suffered probably the heaviest structural damage.”
