EARTHQUAKE RELIEF
INTERESTING STATEMENT. (By Telegraph—Press Association). CHRISTCHURCH, Sept. 27. An interesting statement, regarding the experiences of the Central Earthquake Relief Committee, was made by tne Mayor, Rev. Archer, on his return from Wellington where he attended a meeting of the Committee in the Prime Minister Office. ‘A great deal of the time of the meeting,” said the Mayor, •‘was spent in considering the question of allocating the money available for relief, but on the whole it was found that, it is going to be much more difficult to distribute the money than it was to raise it, because human nature is so constituted that some claimants' are too aggressive in pushing the claims, while others are not sufficiently so.”
