The new extrusion of Petersen road at Inter-'Wanganui proved of great

service to the settlers concerned last week, when the Hi tile Wanganui river was in high flood—one of the largest floods in the district for some time. All traffic by the river bed route was cut off for two days during which milk cart traffic was impossible. The new connection with the factory by way of Petersen road, however, was available,

even though there were about three feet of water on portion of the road for a short interval. The lowering of I.a Fontaine creek for improved drainage of the road, and the large side drains constructed along the- swamp portion of the road, permitted the flood wat'-rs to drain away quickly, and tlu> road dried rapidly so that in a short interval there was no indication of the Hood on the road, which was notat all damaged. Some minor dam- ; age was done to the County roads ini the district, principally to culverts, but repairs were effected promptly and traffic was not. seriously interfered with. j
