LAKE PUKAKI HYDRO-ELECTRIC POWER SCHEME.—Photographs taken at Lake Pukaki this week, when the hydro-electric power scheme was advanced a further stage. The concrete structure in the foreground of the left-hand photograph contains the five new tunnels, the outlets of which are seen in the other picture. Above the outlets are the winches which raise and lower the gates. The coffer dam, which was breached on Monday to allow the lake water into the tunnels, forms the near bank of the lake in the photograph on the left
