Chatto Creek Notes.
(From our. own correspondent)
Oq Friday, 12th inst, at 6 pm, a waterspout came down on the navvies' camps at Ohatto Creek and flooded them. The water washed part of the ,road away. fi Mr Robert Turnbull, railway inspector, who supervised the construction of the Poolburn viaduct, has been transferred to Karori, Auckland, and left for there last Monday. I notice that Mr Jas Rivers, of Alexandra, is erecting a store at Chatto Creek, and Messrs Marslin and Hastings, of your town, have erected a butchers' shop—the intention being, I presume, to cater for the requirements of the workmen on the railway works. Good progress is beings made with the railway cuttings above Ohatto. *Oreek, and the formation is practically completed from Leask's to the crossing at the road on Tiger Hill.
