SEARCH FOR BODY
DRAGGING OPERATIONS CEASE DISTURBING LAKE WEED Dragging operations for the recovery of the body of the boy, Geoffrey Shaw, who was drowned in Lake Pupuke on Wednesday last, have been suspended. Acting on instructions from Dr. 11. Cliesson, medical officer of health, the police and private patrols have ceased to go out on the lake suirface, and will conlipe themselves to a close patrol of the lake shores. The dragging operations resulted in an undue disturbance of the vast quantities of decaying lake weed aroumd the lake foreshore. This disturbance caused an almost unbearable stench, and the medical officer of health held that the operations were merely adding a second evil to the one already existing.
