Two parties of surveyors have been busily engaged for about a month in surveying lands along the Wanganui River, which are to be set aside as scenic reserves. The area affected is reported to be fairly considerable, and comprises beauty spots hero and there right up as far as Taumarunui. Land suitable for homestead sites is not being interfered with. It is understood that the survey work will occupy another four or five months. Loss and damage caused by the floods in thirty departments of France have been provisionally returned at £3,000,000, and loss of real and personal property in Paris estimated at £2,000,000.
