We followed the course of the Otarea stream to the site of the proposed dam, and for a mile or so above this. We found that the stream contained a plentiful supply of water, and in the opinion of Councillors Coley and Henderson, who had previously visited the site, a larger supply existed than at the lime that this matter was reported on by Mr Chenery Suggate, of Auckland.
