FLOODS RECEDING IN HAWKE’S BAY
ROADS OPEN TO TRAFFIC Press Association. rpWO fiine days have enabled J- flood waters round Napier and Hastings to rapidly subside, and in a short time the water should all be gone. Two roads between Napier and Hastings are now open for traffic, but the two main routes are still not negotiable on account of low stretches being under water. The position at the Boys’ High School, which was isolated by the flood, is viewed optimistically, and it is hoped to reopen the school next Tuesday. Northward from Napier the slips have been cleared and the road to Wairoa is again open. A temporary bridge at Rissington, 120 feet long, was washed away by the river, and the crossing is being effected by means of a cable and cage. Slips on the side roads in the Waihori Riding are numerous.
