From various sources I have obtained the following estimates of losses: J. W. Marshall, Eata, lost a hundred sheep. E. Kilgour, Onepuhi, lost in stock £100. H. J. and T. Signal, Onepuhi, had a large area of ground silted over, and some washed away, also a lot of fencing. A. Venables, Kakariki, four hundred sheep, lot of cattle, 100 acres silting and fencing; loss probably £500. The Natives at Onepuhi are reported to have lost two hundred horses and a large number of pigs. At Bull's, chiefly wreckage of houses and gardens. The following estimates are from the Town Clerk of that place : W. Snell, £250 ; Henry Sturmey, £50 ; J. Jordan and J. A. Gray, £20 ; Michael Brown, £50 ; William Wmgfield, £40 ; Amy Bull, £260 ; E. Bydder, £100 ; James Ball, £20 ; George Ingram, £40 ; William Dwyer, £20 ; William Fletcher, £175 ; William Wilson, £25 ; William Smith, £25. Below Bull's, all those having sections butting on the river suffered more or less heavily, the principal being : Charles Bllery, stock and fencing, £300. -A. A. McDonnell and Mrs. McDonnell, 400 acres silted, a hundred sheep; total loss, £300. J. Burne, sixty sheep and five miles of fencing. T. M. McKenzie, silting, fencing, and a hundred sheep, £300. Thomas McKelvie, silting, and many miles of fencing, £500. Natives at Parawanui, silting, fencing, and pigs. David Scott, silting, fencing, oats, and sheep; very serious loss—£soo. Mrs. Amon, 1,070 sheep, 400 acres silted, 2 acres garden covered over ; it will cost £80 to put garden and orchard into previous condition ; this is the heaviest loser; estimate, £1,000. P. Daniels, in charge of ferry (Scott's), lost all his furniture and stock; estimate, £650. The house in which he lived belonged to the Manawatu County Council. To relieve the most necessitous cases the Wanganui Floods Belief Committee distributed £100 at Bull's, and the local bodies gave a considerably larger sum. I omitted to mention that the above Committee also distributed £35 among the Natives at Wangaehu. Damage in the way of Slips, Washouts, do. The expenditure in repairing damage under this head has already been considerable, and is not yet nearly done. On account of the rainfall being comparatively light from Mangaweka downwards there is little damage in the way of slips in this part of the watershed. Starting from the upper waters, the road from' Moawhango to Waiouru suffered very heavily. The Moawhango ford was quite altered; the approaches at both sides were destroyed. From the Moawhango Eiver to Te Horo the road was blocked by whole hill-sides coming down in many places, especially so for the first mile up the Tautopawa Stream. In the Turangarere Bush there was one long slip, full of trees and boulders. The Hautapu Bridge was washed away, but it will be described under heading 3. A large culvert at seven miles from Waiouru was washed out. The slips on this road have all been removed sufficiently wide for traffic, but should be entirely removed during the coming summer. The culvert above mentioned has been replaced by a larger and stronger one. The main Ohingaiti-Tokaanu Eoad, from Mangaweka to Te Horo—twenty-two miles—suffered very heavily. There were three very large slips on the sidelings above the Hautapu Bridge at Taihape, and a large subsidence of the road in the open country. A large log culvert at Utiku was undermined at one side, but was easily repaired. From Utiku to Mangaweka there were three very large slips and dozens of small ones. There were also four bad underslips. Most of the overslips have now been removed, and one of the underslips, but much still remains to be done. This exceptional downpour seems in a manner to have demoralised the country—sidelings formerly seemingly solid are now slipping badly, and slips which were supposed to have worked out have again started to move. On the Torere Eoad, Utiku, there was one very large slip and many small ones. All have now been removed. On the Mangaweka-Tekapua Eoad there were many small slips, which are now being removed. The large culvert at Tansey's Creek got blocked with timber, with the result that the filling, 15 ft. high across the creek, was carried away, and has not yet been replaced. On the same road, across the Makohine, there were many small slips, now mostly removed. On the Hautapu Improved Farm, besides slips, a large filling on the Pongoroa was washed away. It is now replaced in an improved form. Also, a small filling was destroyed on the Waiparuparu Eoad : a temporary track has been formed round it. On this farm a serious loss has been sustained through the washing-out of what were formerly two good fords across the Hautapu Eiver, the one on the Pongaroa Eoad being the best on the river. In passing it is worthy of remark that this flood had such terrible scouring powers that there is now scarcely a good ford anywhere on the Hautapu, Moawhango, or Eangitikei Eivers. The former good fords have been destroyed and no new ones formed in their places. On the Eangitikei, also, there is now very little sand or fine gravel left—the up-river beaches are composed of papa and volcanic boulders and coarse gravel mixed up with silt. Damage in the way of Loss and Injuries to Bridges. Under this heading the loss has been simply disastrous. After the flood had subsided there was not a single bridge left across the Eangitikei Eiver. Except by boat, the only possible way of crossing the river for about a week after was by the wire rope stretched across the river at McGregor's sawmill, Makohine, at an elevation of about 200 ft. Starting from the upper waters, the first bridge come to is across the Hautapu Eiver at Turangarere. The Hautapu Bridge, Turangarere, was built in 1894, and was a 40 ft. understrut, costing about £200, exclusive of approaches. The flood here rose 12 ft. 3 in. above mean level. Owing to the rapid fall at this part the speed of the water must have been very great. The flood rose within 2 ft. of the stringer. The bridge was undoubtedly carried away by floating timber knocking the understruts out of position, thereby causing the whole bridge to collapse. The water was fully 6 ft.
