This country is not built for cyclones.
 The prompt action of the council in
 determining to shut down the water supply. unless the citizens came to- the rescue bore it's fruit Monday.

 are many who would feel it their duty
 to pay it.; that they could not afford to l risk their lives, and those of their fam ily for such an amount. Any one can
