FLOODS IN OTAGO.
ROADS AND RAILWAY LTNI BLOCKED.
fnv TP.LFGRAPH—PRES® ASSOCIATION 1 DUNEDIN, July 27.
Steady rain continued to fall in Dunedin and the outlying districts to-day, and all the roads are in an unusually bad condition.
The slip on the Otago Central railway line near Hendon, together with the swollen creek waters on the roadways, has 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 some of s>unedin’s 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..
