We mentioned yesterday that Mr Clark, C.E., and the City Engineer were about to proceed to Wainui-o-mata today to inspect a stream there, and we explained how it was proposed to bring the water into town if it proved suitable. Messrs Clark and Baird started early this morning for Wainui-o-mata, and are expected back again late this evening.
