NAPIER.
This day.
. Continuous rain has been falling since the registered .rainfall being jnine inches. The Ngaruroro River, at JWaitangi, has been gradually encroaching upon the public road and railway, and some tbree thousand pounds have been spent by the County Council and General Government in the endeavor to open the old mouth of the river. The present flood has swept away the road, .and to-day, the crumbling bank of the river, within two feet of the railway, is now being shifted; but if the flood continues, it is feared that the Ngaruroro will break into the upper end of the Ahuriri lagoon, and find an outlet at Napier. Should these fears be realised, enormous damage' will be done to town and suburban properties. '
