PRIVATE HOUSES
"NOT AS RIGHT AS, THEY LOOK"
Speaking of the private residences (which many people, consider still intact), a gentleman who reported to Salvation Army headquarters to-day said that a lot of those were "all to pieces." Some wooden places looked all right outside, but inside they were quite chaotic. If one walked along and examined them it was surprising to find the damage that had been done.
Hastings was much better organised than • Napier, although organisation thero Vas improving. This was endorsed by an Army officer just returned from Napier this morning.
"For-the first fourteen hours nobody did anything at" Napier," he said. "They were absolutely dazed and aimless. It waa not until 7.30 o'clock tho following morning that a meeting was held. When we got there the morale of the place had gone." Most of the people, ha said, were reluctant to leave.
