ARAPUNI AGAIN.
INSPECTION BY MR. RANSOM. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) HAMILTON, this day. Still another inspection of Arapuni has been made, this time by the Hon. E. A. Ransom. Minister of Public Works, who visited it on his way up from Rotorua. It will be remembered that more than once it has been stated that the dam is not safe, owing to the nature of the country. The Minister made a most careful inspection in order that he might be in a position to understand the departmental reports that will shortly be submitted to Cabinet, which will then make a statement. On his visit the Minister was accompanied by the en-gineer-in-chief of the Public Works Department (Mr. F. W. Furkert) and other officials. The inspection by the Minister was most thorough. Ha went over all the work 3, penetrated into several of the galleries, and even tested the nature of the country with a pick. Mr. Ransom declined to make any statement as to his views about what he had seen.
