DRY SPELL BROKEN
WELCOME RAIN AT DUNEDIN <o [bt telegraph—OWN correspondent] DUNEDItf. Monday The heaviest rain for over seven months swept the city for 15 hours from four o'clock yesterday afternoon, and reservoirs are rapidly filling. The timely fall should relieve the water shortage and enable civic authorities shortly to lift the restrictions on consumers. The fall is fairly general throughout the district and is most welcome to farmers. Unusually dry weather has burned practically all the pastures, with the result that stocks of hay and turnips reserved for winter feed have been drawn upon already, while many crops of young turnips have been ruined. As it is, there is a danger of the ci£y suffering from a severe scarcity of milk this winter.
