ROAD TO COAST
BLOCKED IN CENTRAL HAWKE’S BAY SERIOUS LOSSES OF STOCK. NO DAMAGE TO HOUSES. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WAIPUKURAU, This Day. Owing to the severe damage done by the flood, it is estimated that it will be a week-before the main road between Porangahau and Waipukurau is opened. In the meantime. ; an alternative road, which was also blocked, is being cleared for traffic. The Porangahau River, which burst its banks near Porangahau and inundated the township, is subsiding, but is still running bank to bank. Much stock was lost on the flats, but there was no damage to houses beyond the flooding of a Maori pa. As the waters receded, a layer of silt about five inches deep was left in the township.
