DUNEDIN.
Wednesday. The rain has ceased, and the floods are subsiding, except on the Taieri Plain, where the water has risen considerably to-day, and for miles the Plain is under water. A well known Taieri settler named Borne was drowned to-day. A newspaper runner was fined this morning for selling the "Daily Times " newspaper on the railway platform without the consent of the Minister of Public Works. Messrs Reid and Fenwick obtained the sole right of selling literature on the platform, and have excluded all local papers except their own, hence the action. For the defence it was urged that the travelling public complained of not being able to get copies of the " Times " and " Star. Friday. At a meeting of the Taieri County Council yesterday, it was resolved to bring the whole of the Counties Act into operation. The total valuation of the County is £124,585. It was decided not to allow the Chairman any salary.
