Fish dealers wero paying half a crown a pint for the fish, which they are putting into cool storage for Christmas. The heavy rain of last night brought down a large slip on the Kaniori Lako Road at Slip Hill. A large quantity of timber, stones, and debris was carried across the read blocking traffic completely. The interruption of traffic was reported about 10 o’clock this morning and n. number of men wero sent out at midday to effect a clearance. It is hoped to have the road open to vehicles late this afternoon. v/>.. The m.s.
