TWENTY YEARS AGO
WET WEATHER ON PLAINS MESSAGE FROM THE KING GRAMOPHONE AT MEETING (From the Hauraki Plains Gazette of July 5, 1923.) During the month of June rain fell at Kerpeehi on 26 days. Up till 8 a.m. on June 30 a total of 5.23 inches was recorded at the Lands Department gauge. Since the flood 73 days ago, there have been 44 wet days and 16.69 inches of rain have fallen. So far more rain has fallen in 1923 than in the first half of any year since the record was commenced in 1912, and is almost as much as the total for the whole of the years 1914 and 1919. A little diversion from the usual stolid business of a monthly meeting was enjoyed by the members of the Ohinemuri County Council at its meeting yesterday, when Mr F. E. Flatt very kindly loaned his La Gloria gramophone to the county clerk, who produced the record containing the messages from their Majesties the King and Queen to the school children of New Zealand. The councillors expressed pleasure at the . opportunity of hearing the Royal messages.
