(from our own correspondent, ) ; . ' . -■'■ ' WAIROA I ,' Friday.?-' ■ Great hopes were entertained last Monday that the entrance to, .the river would - have completely closed with the- southwester then blowing, ; but it' would- not: la,st long enough. When the entrance! is entirely blocked the. Harbor Board will soon open a fresh one near the bluff. The present mouth;. though reduced to small . dimensions, still 'runs' out too strong }to be bloocked by artificial means.' A large "quantity of, cement was landed' from the s.s. Wairoa to-day to be used in the construction of the piers of the Wairoa bridge. ' The cylinders, which are nowon : the way out from England, are expected-to}; arrive in Napier early next month. ' Work on v the bridge is at present suspended owing to the non-arrival of certain pieces of timber. These dolays are very provok-. ing.ahd are - mainly caused by the millowner not keeping up the 'supply pf tim- ■ her most required. •• . .■; .• -•<-' . i;-!
