"PLEASE KEEP OUT"
APPEAL TO SIGHTSEERS DEPLETING FOOD SUPPLIES
The following telegram has been received by the Prime Minister from the Hon. Mr. Masters at Napier:— Work of clearing up streets and buildings at Napier considerably hampered by influx of visitors. Further, owing to lack of water and shortage of supplies of food these people are making their presence felt in regard to such supplies. Would be. glad if'you would make appeal to the country asking that, unless absolutely essential, no one should at present visit Napier, but if they should do so they should be compelled to bring -their own food supplies. If those who are anxious to come here from sight-seeing point of view had true realisation of the position, I feel sure they would N postpone their visit knowing the help it would be to the community and to those who are engaged in the work of restoration. I am sending this appeal to you with the full approval of the Citizens' Committee, after consideration this morning, in control. I am confident appeal from you in this direction will have desired effect. , ,
