FLOOD WATERS SUBSIDE
Communication With North Rapidly Becoming Normal EXPRESS ABLE TO PROCEED RAINFALL ALMOST RECORD (By Telegraph—fxesa Association.) AUCKLAND, To-day-With the reopening of railway services, the clearing of slips on roads and a subsidence of the flood waters, communication between Auckland and the north is rapidly becoming noimai again. Provided no further heavy rain' falls it is expected that the difficulties experienced will have disappeared by the week-end. An express which left Auckland at 8.40 had to travel slowly at Hoteo, ’where a large slip came down, but it passed that point "without mishap. The rainfall in the- city for the month to date is 9.40 inches, which is close to the record total of 9.59 inches in July, 1917. . , . A water main carrying the supply from the city side of the harbour to Birkenhead burst at Weszmere this morning and the water gushed to a height of 60 feet until the supply was cut off. No serious damage was occasioned.
