This brings the total fall since December 3, a jjeriod of nineteen weeks, 16 only 48 points. The town water supply is still ample, but a shortage of pasturage is now certain during the winter. RAIN IN NORTH AUCKLAND. WHANGAREI, This Day. Long-awaited rain began to fall yesterday afternoon and continues lightly. A fall of .60 was registered up to nine this morning. The weather is xyarm.
