LAKES IN OTAGO
QUESTION OF DAMMING Nothing that might be regarded as confirmation of the optimism of many people in Central Otago with regard to the possible damming in the near future of Lakes Hawea and Wanaka for mining and irrigation purposes could be elicited from Mr. C. J. McKenzio, en-gineer-in-chief of the Public Works Department, in the course of a conversation with a Daily Times reporter last week. Asked if there were any possibility of the project being seriously considered in the meantime, Mr. McKenzio said lie could give no information whatever on the subject, and, although he did not definitely state that the work would not bo undertaken at some future date, he reminded his interviewer that the department was spending a lot of money at the present time, and was committed to a good deal more.
