THE SUMNER LANDSLIP.
Per Press Association, CnKisrcnuiicir, April 2. Thn work of clearing the Sumner landslip has been suspended since yesterday, there being ample room for vehicles to pass. The large rocks have to he blasted, and it will take five or six days to clear the road altogether. The general opinion is that tiro upper overhanging cliff will have to bo brought down and the face sloped hack, but even though the road and the tram lino were moved further out into the estuary there would still ho the danger of a fall from the cliff, which at present scorns as fif it were hanging just over the road. If something is not done a terrible accident may happen.
