PONSONBY RESERVOIR.
[Per Press Association.] AUCKLAND, January 18. About half a mile on the Ellerslie Bide of Penroee station, the Main South Road is flooded for a distance of fifty yards. As this water did not appear until after th© heavy rain ceased, it is supposed that the accumulation in St John's Lake has forced an underground passage. The subsidence caused by the heavy rain has caused a large crack in the concrete lining of Ponsonby reservoir, which is now being emptied to ascertain the extent of the damage and the best means of repairing" it. There is no leakage at present.
