FLOODS IN MANAWATU.
(UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION.)
WOODVILLE, May 17. Heavy and continuous rain has fallen in this district during the past 24 hours. The Manawatu Eiver at the gorge ferry bridge has risen to nearly thirty feet — the usual average height is six leet — and is still rising. The wire post at the gorge ferry has been carried away, and no communication even by boat is possible. Traffic is suspended, and the mails are delayed in consequence.
