Bad Weather
♦ The warm rain which fell almost continuously on Sunday and Monday (and which is still falling, with a colder temperature) had the effect of melting the snow on the ranges, and therefore flooding the rivers. The Oroua was very high, and those whose business compelled them to go as far round as Menzies' to get across, were making anxious enquiries as to when the bridge at A.orangi will be erected. The Makino stream has been in high flood during the past few days. The Manawatu river is also in high flood, and is higher than it has yet been this winter. There are several slips in the Manawatu Gorge road and nil traffic is stopped. The railway is all right. '
