THE GISBORNE OUTLETS
P.A. GISBORNE, This Day. Rapid progress is being made in reopening the railway and main road outlets. ■ , The railway is expected to be available for traffic as far as Wairoa on Saturday and to Napier on Monday. The first inward mail of.the week came by air: yesterday when a small amount of first-class matter was brought* Aeroplanes are expected to be used until the overland outlets are restored. . • While 'the losses of farmers concern mainly the burying of pasture and cr6ps under deep silt over*thousands of acres, and the sweeping away of fences, gates,,and farm bridges, the individual losses in stock are substantial in cases where insufficient warning was given of the approach of the flood. One man lost all but a few of 500 sheep, and another estimates his loss at 250.
