NORTHERN STORMS
DAMAGE AT WELLINGTON. (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, June 15. Yesterday’s southerly was much worse than the preceding one last week as far as wind was concerned, but the rainfall was not exceptionally heavy. The return for the week, however, so far is 5.47 inches, which is more than the average for the whole month. The wall along the railway line to Petone cracked in several places, and at Eastbourne, on the opposite side of the harbour, much erosion again took place on the beach. The Weather Bureau is optimistic, and does not expect much more rain, and thinks it probable that a spell of bright weather will follow this wintry outburst.
