TERRITORIES,
On the 8th October $2500 were placed at the disposal of Mr. Messer and Mr. Orme to spend in immediate relief in the › ew Territorios. Mr. Messer's report on the relief called for in the New Terit 'ries was leid before the General Committee in the middle of December and a further sum of $10,900 was voted,
The rel of giv u may be divided into fire parts: --
(1) Belief to Pengchau
Pengchau is a small island at the top of Mirs Bay and the inhabitants depend entirely upon fishing for their livelihood. All their bosts were destroyed in the typhoon and a grant of $1000 was made to enable the boats to le replaced. Immediate distress was re ieve by distribut on of rice.
(2) Repair:f embankments and compensation for loss of crops.
¡
The value of crops lost was assessed by Mr. Messer at $30,700 but in this assessment large areas where there was no necessity for relief,
1 The damage to were left out of account. embankments was assessed by the Public Works, Department at $12,500, but this assessment did not include many miles of low embankment made of earth and strengthened with a facing | of stones. Relief was granted only where the cultivators were very poor.
(3) Small grants to relieve immediate distress. This calls for to comment,
(4) Grants to women who had lost their relatives in the typhoon.

(5) Grants to repair damaged houses. These two items are made up of exceptional distress. The accounts were closed and for- to the Honourable warded with vouchers Treasurer on the 7th March 1907.
