In addition the hoard has made liberal concessions in respect of postponements of rent payments and complete remissions in certain eases. While fording the Waingawa river, Wairarapa, James Fouliy, a carting contractor, of Masterton, had a narrow escape from death, lie'was carting metal from the river and attempted to ford to the town side through the usual outlet. Three powerful horses were attached to the dray, hut the velocity of the current tossed the dray completely over and Mr Foully was thrown under and had it not been for the tailhoard being broken, bis escape would have been impossible as the drav was seciireh anchored. All Ihe horses were drowned.
