Railways aid Earthquake Suffers

Railways aid Earthquake Suffers

The Minister of Railways (the Hon. W. B. Taverner) made immediate arrangements for prompt assistance by the Department in connection with the recent earthquake. Refugees were conveyed free out of the disturbed area, special trains were run where necessary, free meals were provided at railway refreshment rooms, and free conveyance given to consignments of clothing, etc., for earthquake relief work sent from other parts of New Zealand. Many grateful acknowledgments for the thoroughness of the measures taken have been received.
