Spring-field Flood Protection.—“ Advice had been received from the Soil Conservation and Rivers Control Council that additional subsidies will be found by the council as the result of the reduction in the contributions by the Railways Department,” said Mr H. B. Anderson, chairman of the drainage and rivers control committee, reporting to the North Canterbury Catchment Board yesterdays on the Springfield flooding and Kowai Bush scheme. “The re-arranging of finance in both these schemes will not involve the ratepayers in any increased contribution. They will cost the local ratepayers about one quarter of the total,*" he said.
