WAIO-KARAKA DRAINAGE.
On Saturday a measurement of the water was made, and it was found that it had risen to within six feet of the No. 6 level, and was still rising slowly. No measurement has been taken since then,
but it is expected that it is now at least within 2 feet of the flat-sheet of that level. Mr Judd is losing no time. Yesterday afternoon the broken shaft and crank were taken out and the alterations for «.placing the new 9-inch shaft are proceeding rapidly. With this expedition there is no reason to doubt but that the job will be completed in contract time, and perhaps considerably under it.
