THE MOLYNEUX DREDGE WORK TO BE RESUMED Recent rains in the high country of Otago have caused the level of the Molyneux River to rise sufficiently to enable the Molyneux Dredging Company's dredge to resume operattori?. Work was suspended in July last owing to frosts in the back country reducing the flow of the river to a low level at Clyde, where the. dredge is located. It intention of the company to move the dredge through the narrow, rock-bound section lying immediately ahead, as this contains at least four obstructions insurmountable at low river levels. • . Dredging operations will be begun where the conditions are much more favourable at a point one mile and a-quarter above the present dredging position. . The move up the river, and tiie consequent alteratioSffo the power line, will occupy some time and it is not anticipated that actual dredging will be resumed for three or four weeks.
