THAT ARAPUNI WOULD BE OUT OF COMMISSION for a considerable time was made clear by the Hon. W. B. Taverner’s statement in the House of Representatives yesterday. This new picture, taken at Arapuni yesterday, shows the completely de-watered dam, with the river flowing through into the diversion tunnel on the right. The beginning of the head-race can be seen at the top of the picture. The swing bridge, shown in the centre, was erected when the dam was being built across the gorge, and is still intact, in spite of its long immersion under a tremendous weight of water.
