WHANGAREI SERVICE DISORGANISED WATER ENTERS CABLES (Special to THE BUKJ WHANGAREI. Wednesday. Plumbing operations during heaw rain caused water to enter the telephone cables, with the result that *9O subscribers have been off since 8 p.m. on Monday. The repairing staff worked all Monday night to remedy the fault and Messrs. O’Leary and Donaldson, telegraphic engineers, arrived from Auckland by- the late train last evening to supervise operations. At the comer of Bank Street and Mill Road a big gang is working, and the position i* gradually improving. Air is being run through the cable, and if the dampness does not extend for more than four feet the experts think that the improvement will continue as this process takes effect. If the method adopted does not prove expeditious enough. more desperate measures will be taken and the cable taken up. . .
