Lyell Highway

Flooding

In an endeavour to find means of preventing flooding of the Lyell Highway at the lime kilns, near Granton, and at Plenty, the Premier (Mr Cosgrove) will ask the Public Works Department for a report.

He has suggested that concrete retaining walls be erected near the embankment of the river at these points to keep back flood waters.
