The work on the Lyttelton road is so far advanced now Hint pedestrians can got through the whole way with very little trouble. AYhen tho big Muff is finished there will still remain one or two spots? on tho road that S will need attention before vehicles | nifoce the trip through. At one of I these, judging from the work already J done, some form of bridging appears | to bo contemplated, while at other corners some widening will i mve T0 be done. Patrons of the road hail with delight the time when tho dangerous turns on the zirrzag will he , thing of the past. WASTE ENERGY. . AYhen the great area of tho estuary is considered together with the thousands of tons of water that move across_ it four times fi , day, SO mc idea ta obtained of the huge forces at , ' VO 'T\ When it is further considered that a concentration of these lorces is gathered four times daily wit.iin the compass of a few yards at Shag Rock, the immense waste of power becomes very evident. Few people realise what a terrific rip hows past at this point. More often than not it is impossible to row against if. and tho natural formation of tho rocks : and sand spit at this point make tho ’ possibilities of increasing the force of waters certainly not less. With the river harnessed at this point interesting developments could bo looked forward to. PERSONAL. Mr E. A.
