Among the wide variety of inquiries received at the . offices of the commissioners for Napier there has been one (reports the Telegraph) by a citizen asking if he had any chance of being reimbursed for the loss of an artificial leg, burnt in the fire following the earthquake of February 3, and, if so, whether he should apply to the Napier Relief Committee or to the Rehabilitation Committee. The clerk gravely replied that he should forward nis application to the latter committee, whose function was to restore earthquake sufferers to their preearthquake “ footing.”
