THE TUNNEL LEAKAGE.

Reporting to the Borough Council on Monday night, Mr Kendall, engm cr, said that tile repairs to the side diive, in order to cope with the leakage from the waterworks tunnel, had been proceeded with as last as possible, but during spells of wet; weather the carting of clav lias had to b<- suspended, as the Smart Road and those at the Waterworks were unfit for heavy traffic. The construction of the concrete wail across the diive had been completed, and he hoped to have Lie puddle wall made by Tuesday.lt had been found to be extremely difficult to carry i ut the laying of ilie pipes suggested by Mr. Mesiayer in tln; bottom during the fmw of !lie leak, and it appeared that it would be better lo slop the men during- the week, and carry out this Part of the work when the water could be turned oft 011 Sundays, as more work could be done in one day when the water was not flowing than in three days when the water had to be contended with. Mr fVravliiiM had eoniplelud the stoppage of 1 In- old sump hole under the Mangaiinihou «tieam.
