MORE LIGHT FOR CYPRUS
Cyprus, the third largest island in the Mediterranean is to have an up-to-date electricity supply. The present supply, which is confined to the areas surrounding certain towns, is totally -inadequate to meet the growing needs of this British colony with a population of half a million. Under the scheme, which has just been accepted by the Government of Cyprus, a central power station capable of generating 70,000 kilowatts is to be built at Larnaka on the southern coast. Sea-water will be used in the condensers which cool the turbo-alternators. First results of the present plans should be evident by 1951, and so one of the greatest boons of our modern age comes to an island which, during its long history, has known the Phoenicians, Egyptians, Assyrians, Persians, and Turks.
