THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES.
THE ARAPUNI MISHAP
The trouble that has arisen at Arfipuni is certainly a very serious matter for the Dominion in general and. for Auckland in particular. Already a very large amount of money has been spent in this installatipn-f-a sum greatly exceeding the original .estimates and tbe nature of this mishap suggests very unpleasant possibilities for the future. In the early stages of the scheme it was argued that the character of the country at Arapuni, in an engineering sense, rendered tlie construction of such huge works there a rather risky experiment, and it is quite possible that, even if the present emergency is successfully tided over, it may recur later on.
