TONG BONG CROSSING.
Though Mr. Lawson, the shire engineer, had made every effort to have the new culvert over Tong Bong Creek completed in time for the race meeting on Saturday fate was against him. The flood waters caused by the terrific fall of rain last week over the watershed which feeds the creek came along and washed the approaches clean away before it had a chance of being completed. The job itself is a substantial one but in the opinion of old residents another pipe on each side would have eliminated danger of a washawaV by heavy flood1 .
