BUSH FIRES.
A MESSAGE OF SYMPATHY.
BY TELEGRAPH —PBESS ASSOCIATION AUCKLAND, February 21. The loss occasioned by the bush fires in the Auckland province was referred to at the meeting of the Executive of the Farmers' Union today.

Mr Jowett seconded the motion,
Mr Flanagan, of Drury, said it was significant that now the farmers from end to end of the country were suffering loss there was no talk amongst the town unions and societies of sharing with the farmers the loss.
