AFTER THE STORM.
A FIGHTHOUSF AFFECTED
Gisborne, April 4
Extensive land slides, the result of the storm, in the vicinity of Tauhiue Fighthouse, erected by the Government last year, on a high headland near the approach to Poverty Bay, have caused apprehensions for the safety of the structure. The caretaker was removed for safety on Saturday, and the Harbour Board propose to remove his cottage ashore to a site on more stable ground.
Fast week’s flood caused serious damage to the head work of the municipal water supply. The water has been cut off for several days. The council is setting up pumps near Te Arai to provide a temporary supply. The railway service, which has been interrupted since Wednesday, is expected to be resumed this afternoon.
