(Per United Press Association.) AUCKLAND, July 28. Miss Jean Batten reached Mangere by plane at 1 o’clock this afternoon. She was escorted from New Plymouth by Squadron-leader Isitt in a New Plymouth Aero Club plane. GISBORNE, July 29. Heavy rain commenced on Friday afternoon, and lasted almost continuously until Saturday afternoon, when the weather improved. Since then occasional light showers have been experienced. The riverg are now back almost to normal, and any danger of floods is past. The rain was welcomed by the farmers, as the subsoil was particularly dry. CHRISTCHURCH. July 28.
The fittings of the Rose Marie toilet rooms in the Two-storeyed building at the corner of Gloucester and Colombo streets, Christchurch, now being demolished, were removed yesterday under protest, it is stated, from the proprietress, who had remained in tenancy for a week with the walls falling all around. The proprietress may make a claim for damages as the result of the company’s decision to proceed with the work in the face of her refusal to move until her lease expired.
