QUAKE DAMAGE
REPAIRS IX NELSON. (By Telegiaph—Per Dress Association.' NELSON, July 31. Splendid progress is being made with immediate ’repair work, under the supervision of Mr Stringer. The immediate repair work is to make the homes habitable and enable settlers to return, giving them one fireplace, repairing water supply and temporary repair to serious leaks. A limit of £SO is made on any one home from this fund, but repairs in most cases have far from reached that amount. The township portion is being dealt with first, owing to poor access to the valley until the roads arc cleared. There are 69 homes in the township area of which approximately 16 have been repaired and made habitable; eight are at present receiving attention, four are considered past temporary repairs, while the balance are considered satisfactory for the time being. Most of these homes require further assistance later from the general relief fund. The present work is purely tho making of homes habitable.
The Public Works Department is making good progress with the work on the roads. The stock tracks to the mid-Maruia are practically com--pleted.
