The City Engineer, Mr Baird, returned from Pakuratahi (not “Palmerston” as stated by a contemporary) on Saturday night, leaving Mr Clark still up country. Mr Baird, having obtained various aneroids and other instruments required for the purpose of ascertaining the altitudes of the various possible sources of extended water supply, started up country again this morning. Messrs Baird and Clark are expected back in Wellington to-morrow night. They have worked downwards from Pakuratahi so far as Belmont, and to-day are engaged in examining the streams in that neighborhood, and thence to the Hutt.
