OTAGO CENTRAL LINE BLOCKED
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.)
DTJNEDIN, 27th July. Steady rain continued to fall in Dunedin and outlying districts to-day, and all roads are in an unusually bad condition. A slip on the Otago Central railway line, near Hendon, together with the swollen creek waters on the roadways, have prevented travellers from reaching Dunedin either by rail or motor-car. It is, however, anticipated that conditions will improve to-morrow. A train will leave Dunedin during the morning in an attempt to reach Cromwell, and a down train from Cromwell is expected to reach here in the evening. Three minor slips occurred on Dunedin hill streets, but these caused no concern, and are speedily being repaired. The Outram railway line was flooded this morning, but it is hoped that the ordinary time-table can be resumed tomorrow.
