§ Mr. MaclayI regret that as a result of the storms in the Aberdeen area last month one man was drowned and one other person was injured.
My information is that there was some slight damage to roads and telephone communications, and that, while there were some cases of losses of crops, no cases of loss of livestock were reported, and the damage to agricultural land and fixed equipment was not serious.
