LEVEL OF LAKE
FEARS OF BANKS BREAKING Masterton, Wednesday. The upper part of the Wairarapa is now free from floods, but the position around Lake Wairarapa is causing the settlers, whose properties adjoin its shores, serious concern. The lake is reported to be at the highest level on record. A very severe strain is imposed on the protecHve works around the lake, and farmers are apprehensive as to the result if the banks give way. Pukio and Pihautea are now aceessible by road. The railway line is still blocked at Mangamahoe. It is hoped to have the line clear to-mor-row, and at the Fernridge washout on Friday; passengers are being transhipped in the meantime.
