EARTHQUAKE RELIEF
A DIFFICULT PROBLEM
(B.v Telegraph—Press Association). • .NELSON, Aug. 28.
In connection with the damage to farms and the difficulties of access to farms in; the Murchison district, Sir Joseph Ward, Chairman of the Central Reliet Committee, has written stating that the Government is alive to the necessity for restoring communications as soon as possible,'and a great deal has > been done in the way of providing track access already, but it is impossible to make any general statement that ■ all the roads will be re-opened until the potentialities of each locality have been'fully explored It is recognised that, in many cases the extent of the assistance required by the settlers is dependent upon tinrestoration of the roads, but it is suggested that the difficulties of settlers might be met by the submission of alternative applications assuming, first!y, that ' access will be restored, and secondly, that it will not. This will enable the settlers to finalise their applications, and individual cases can be considered by the Committee in due course.
