THE BUSH FIRES. [BY TELEGRAPH.-PRESS ASSOCIATION.] New Plymouth, Monday.
Messrs Robinson and B. Bayley, who went over the district ravaged by fire, have returned to town. From the report published by the latter, the damage is not half what it was originally estimated at. The utmost extent is not over £4000, and this includes the houses which were insured, the cattle which were daily returning, low fencing which was only put up to burn, and paddocks of grass in which grass is already springing up. The whole matter is being thoroughly investigated here by competent persons aud when finished a report will be published of how the money is to be distributed. The Mayor of Wanganui and Mrs McGuire are now ia New Plymouth, and no doubt the whole matter will be amicably arranged. The amount of subscriptions received here up to date is £S2O. .The above amount does not include the Wellington Post's £100 or that received at Wanganui and Marton.
