FLOOD RECEDING.
BRIGHTER OUTLOOK IN HAWKE’S BAY. By Telegraph—Press Association. NAPIER, July 4. Two fine days have allowed the flood waters around Napier and Hastings to rapidly subside, and in a short time the water should all be gone. f Two roads between Napier and Hastings are now open for traffic, but the two main roads are still not negotiable on account of low stretches being under water. The position at the Boys’ High School is viewed optimistically, and it is hoped to re-open next Tuesday. Northwards 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 crossing is ; being effected by a cable and cage. Slips on the side roads in Waihori riding are numerous.
