Destructive Floods at Napier.
[Per Press Association.] Napier, June 19. There has been continuous rain since Saturday, the rainfall being nine inches. The Ngaruroro River, at Waitangi, has been gradually encroaching upon the public road and railway. The present flood has swept away the road, and to-day, from the crumbling of the bank, the river is within two feet of the railway line. If the flood continues it is feared the Ngaruroro will break into the upper end of the Ahuriri lagoon, and find an outlet at Napier. Should these fears be realised enormous damage will be done to town and suburban properties.
