ROADS IN NORTH OPEN
flood waters receding MORTALITY AMONG PENGUINS r 3Y telegraph-own correspondent] "WHANGAB EI. Friday All main roads in Northland, with the exception of the Whangarei-Darga-ville route, are now open for traffic after the recent floods. It is expected that this road will be closed by flood waters until Monday. Meanwhile, the Houtu route is carrying the traffic. Difficulty was experienced in the collection of cream on some routes supplying the Hikurangi dairy factory, but by using the railway in certain areas about 90 per cent of the cream was brought to the factory. Only light showers have fallen today and the wind has moderated. The high seas on the east coast have caused heavy mortality among penguins ; and the bodies of these birds are strewing some of the beaches.
