The rainfall up to 9 a.m. yesterday (when the last reading was taken) was O.SI inches. The 'am was not cold, and out of ocors the a mosphere was slightly muggy. ™ ; : downpour showed the defectiveness of the street channels in carrying oft flood waters. The channels in Gladstone :• Road were banked up to the footpath, and in the holes in the metai the water lodged in pools, and mud was thick everywhere. The oortion of Gladstone Road that has been recently metalled stood out in marked to the traffic-worn part, and though tnc steam, roller plied busily at its work on tno, : new metal both vehicle drnois pietjr- _ red the cleanly metalled portion to the mud. Some of the drains in outlying streets were in danger of flooding ow- ; in<v to the dense growth of weeds. Late last night here was a cessation of the rain. .. , - . if: i Reports from the country district state that the rain is general. Messrs yJ.
