HALIFAX EMERGES
FROM CHAOS; MANY
DEAD REING FOUND
HALIFAX, Dec. 20. — While cold
weather and snow have impeded the
work of cleaning up the ruins of the
ii'ivnt explosion, much of the debris
, has been straightened out and the re
fugees remaining in the city have been
made fairly comfortable by the au
horities. Huge quantities of stores,
together with tents and bedding have
poured into the city from other parts
of the province, from the United
States and Alaska. Many families»
have moved to other cities or have
loft the island for the mainland. With
a few good days the work of clearing
up the ruins will proceed rapidly.
While a few bodies are still being!
found, the death roll has been about
completed, it is believed here, and
while there are undoubtedly many
bodies in the waters of the harbor |
which will never bo found, all those
i r ‘covered have been given Christian
burial.
Many firms have reopened for busi
ness, and conditions are rapidly glow
ing better as shipping facilities are!
restored. Nearly every dock in the
city was destroyed by the force of the
•xplosion and the city’s work will be
. o rebuild them. It is now proposed;
1 o build them of concrete and stone,
uul thus eliminate the danger of them
igain being destroyed.
Find Many Bodies
HALIFAX, Xr. S., Dec. 26. — While
hr cold weather and high gales of the
I Kist few days have obsti-ucted the
