The Taranaki Fires.
:1 (united peess ASsocrA.h'iow )i • i ■ H\weba, -Saturday. Mr j Marchant, J.P., on behalf of the -.Hawera Stdr^ has firiished ' his iriquify into the losses at Stratford^-and estimates the acjtual loesVat £4800./ He says '£-"/! repeat that the vulues, given by me are . well ViMthin.the mark,. and that, although -the^i total of ; £4300 to 'which the list . brings up the sum is a pretty large amount, it falls far short of the reality, : m that nothing m the shape of cbnstructiye loss has been counted. If you were to reckon on the losses sustained , by the going dry of cows, the starvation .of calves and pigs, the forced sale of stock," the loss through the destruction of the seed crop, and many other items which really and truly are all part of the damage done, you would 1 have : to add 'another half at least to ; the total. There may be, and probably are, omissions! m the list of losses, Jmt .their number afnd amounts will not be. : large enough to seriously affect the total." , '
