EARTHQUAKE FUND
TRANSFER APPROVED EMERGENCY MEASURES Moneys left in the earthquake relief account held by the Gisborne Borough Council are to be transferred to use for the emergency precautions scheme, as a result of a decision by the Department of Internal Affairs. In a letter to the council, which met last night, the Under-Secretary of the Department wrote that the Minister would be prepared to include in the next Local Legislation Bill to be brought down any legislation that might be necessary to validate the action of the council in using earthquake funds for the purpose intended. The town clerk. Mr. W. M. Jenkins, was authorised to promote the necessary legislation.
In reply to a question, the town clerk said that the amount of the fund was about £75.
