THE WEATHER
FLOODS IN MANAWATU HUNDREDS OF ACRES UNDER WAT Kit. 'Doited Presß AKKoniutiou.) PALMERSTON N., This Day. Rivers in the district are now well below flood level, but the continued overflow of the Oroua River through broken stop banks caused a most extensive inundation yesterday afternoon anil evening, with tlie result that to-day many hundreds of acres are. completely covered in a depth of several feet. The road to Foxton is covered to a distance of two miles and is impassable for motor traffic, two cars being hauled out by horses this morning after attempting a passage. The extension of flooding after the. rain had ceased and the rivers fallen is surprising. The effect on the dairying industry in the areas affected is .serious.
COLD SNA I' IN WELLINGTON WELLINGTON, This Day. Cold southerly weather continued this morning. Some hail fell and there was clso a slight fall of snow.
