BURSTING OF DAM.
“ What is Likely to Happen at Arapuni.”
(Special to the “ Star.’’* WELLINGTON, October 27. An announcement was made by the Hon C. E. Macmillan, Acting-Minister of Public Works, in the House to-night that he had taken steps to suppress the screening of a film purporting to show the bursting of the dam at Arapuni.
Mr Macmillan said that the film related to a dam in some other country, but it was accompanied by a title reading: “ This is what is likely to occur at New Zealand’s hydro-electric installation at Arapuni.” He had taken steps to have that inscription withdrawn. Mr Holland: You are not blaming us for that? The Minister: It was started by
somebody, but not from this side of the House. Mr Holland: Does the Minister not know who was responsible ? The Minister: I believe a certain engineer was responsible. It was being shown in Australia.
