PIAKO WHARF CAPSIZES
FERTILISER LOST PORTION SAVED BY SETTLERS % (From Our Own Correspondent.) N GATE A, To-day. The Piako River Wharf at Kopuarahi, Hauraki Plains, collapsed on Friday last through being overloaded with manure discharged from the Auckland steamer., A total of 31 tons of basic slag was stacked on the end of the structure, and of the 480 bags, 180 were salvaged by settlers of the district before the work was stopped by the rising of the tide. The wharf was one of those which are under offer to the County Council by the Lands Drainage Department, and its destruction has meant that the cheese from the New Zealand Co-op-erative Dairy Company’s Shelly Beach factory has had to be carted to the Ngatea Wharf, five miles away.
