'• ■ - GISBORNE, May 0. . "Stories in circulation thau substantial damage was caused to the completed Sections of the Kaitawa hydro -electric works by recent Diastirig bperatiofis on 'the lake margiii were flatly contradicted by Mr-. W: Harnett, Gisborne union official, who inspected the works this week. - "The damage is slight and superficial," he said, referring to its effect on the concrete lined tunnel-. "C>nly some of the concrete lining cracked off , and ' repair s will takq only a few days according to the lea'cter of the timneiling gang and engiheer. ' "Tnere is no truth whatever in the statement that the delivery of power from Kaitawa will be held up as a result of damage. The damage to the tunnel lining is not the result of the main biasc, but the i9cal effect of one or two shots p'laced a little too close to the ^unnel line."
