SURVEY OF TIDES
Outlets Sought For Sewage The Christchurch Drainage Board is looking ahead in tryIng to And safe outlets for treated effluents. This week-end its consulting engineers, Messrs Steven and Fitzmaurice, together with the launch of the Canterbury division of the R.N.Z.N.V.R., will make a preliminary tidal survey off the coast of Canterbury. The survey will be off the coast south of the Waimakariri river and the float tests will be between 15,000 ft and 20,000 ft off the shore. The Job of the crew aboard the M.L. Pegasus, under Lieu-tenant-Commander J. F. Allan, will be to drop a number of buoys into the water and then to plot their tidal drift. The use of the open see as a repository for effluent is only one of a number of possibilities which the consulting engineers will consider. The training launch will put to sea again in two weeks to continue its tidal survey work.
