WATERS RECEDING

Carterton, Thursday. There is very little further to report regarding the floods. Practically the whole northern area is free- of water, but the Lower Valley is still deeply covered. The soldier settlers in the Pahautea settlement eased most of the water, but the subsidence round this area puts tremendous volumes into the lake, which has risen to a height well above all previous records. Most of the settlers in the Kahutara district gathered along the lakeside watching the waters, and report a fall of a few inches since last nightThis is taken as an indication that the worst is over. The outlet to the sea is running furiously, but the five or six miles of narrows between the lalces seriously impede the flow from the upper lake. The rainfall for August was 8.4 inches. To-day further rain has fallen and the sky is overcast, but no further trouble is anticipated.
