FLOOD DAMAGE
£20,000 AT DUNEDIN. (Per Press Association.) DUNEDIN, May 18. The Works Committee of the CityCouncil recommends, in respect to reinstating the city works damaged by floods, that provision be made byway of special loan for £20,000. Bridges require £4lOO and Maori Hill division £B5OO. THE MARLBOROUGH LOSSES. BLENHEIM, May 18. The principal characterisation of the visit to Marlborough of the Minister for Public Works was his sympathy with local bodies in the damage suffered to public works as the result of the floods and his willingness to recommend assistance to the utmost amount possible in reinstating the damaged bridges and roads. A general inspection was made of the road from Blenheim to Clarence bridge, which, apart from the slip at Dead Man’s Hill and the damaged approaches at Ure bridge, is in a surprisingly good condition. The Clarence bridge will present a big problem, and at the earliest it will be January next before traffic is resumed.
