ENGINEERS ANXIOUS LAKE ROTOMOHANA MAY OVERFLOW. POSSIBILITY OF GREAT DEVASTATION. Per Press Association. ROTORUA, Febnia’y 26. Lake Robomahana is so steadily rising that it is causing the Government engineers some concern. Its average rise is seven inches per mouth, and in the past few years it. has risen id feet. It.is now about 20 feet below the lowest point at which it ■ can overflow into Lake Tarawera, and it is feared that in no great time it may sweep this ridge away and burst into I ako Tarawera, thus causing the river flowing from the latter to flood the farms on its lianks. Joe Warorick, the wpll-known guide, does not think it will do more than overflow steadily into Lake farawvra, but the engineers are far from satisfied that it will be so harmless.
