A Close Call
A serious accident was narrowly averted last Monday when a car owned and driven by Mr D. W. Rollinson who had with him his wife apd two children fell into the bank of the Wairere Stream opposite the factory of Messrs. Innes and Company, which had been undermined in the recent flood. The rear wheels of the vehicle fell into the collapsed bank but luckily it failed to overturn and nobody was hurt. The Borough Council at its meeting last Monday evening decided to take temporary repair measures and to re-write the P.W.D. urging that the whole plan for permanently safeguarding the streambed and bridge be expedited.
