CAR CAUGHT IN FLOOD
From Our Own Correspondent NGATEA, Monday. A big sedan motor-car belonging to Mr. F. Plummer, settler, of Patetonga. was washed away while attempting to cross the Kaihere ford last Friday evening. The creek was swollen by flood water and the engine stopped. Later the rising flood overturned the vehicle and rolled it some distance down stream. It was recovered on Saturday morning, practically undamaged except for the effects of the wetting. A bridge is urgently required at this ford for the stream is a swift mountain r.orront whenever it rains. While the Pntetonga-Kaihere road was unmet - alicd the impassable ford was not noticed, but now that it is part of an important connecting link between the Paerott- Pokeno highway and the Mori insville-Hamilton district an improve-* oent is very essential.
