Move for Their Replacement RECORDS LOST IN QUAKE
(From
WAIPUKURAU, This Day. That the Government should replaee survey plans destroyed in the Lands and Survey Office at Napier in the 1931 earthquake was an opinion expressed at yesterday's meeting of the Waipukurau branch of the New Zealand Farmers' Union. This matter is to be brought before the notice of the union 's provincial executive. "During the quake our title-deeds were destroyed and now, if we want to'eut up our land, we must go to the cost of getting another survey," said Mr A. J. Elliott to-day. "That seems to be a hatdship infiicted by the Government, and I'd like this body to do something about it." He then moved: "That survey plans lost in the 1931 earthquake be teplaced at no cost to tfarmers, andj that the provincial executive look into the matter." The motion was seconded ,by Mr D, Sim, who nevertheless expressed the view that the Government had a certain amount of expense on its hands and could not aeeomplish everything. He doubted whether anything could be done in the meantime, but agreed that the matter should receive conSideration.
