'The Waddirgton School Committee wrote that, they were favourably considering the installation of electrio light ill the school and the headmaster's house, and the P. and T. Department .gave notice that they would apply for current'for tlio linesman's house and the new post office at Dariield.' The St. Ambrose Church Trustees,. Sheffield, applied to have th« church and the vicarage connected'to one meter, as the irrigular use of lighting in the'ihurch made it inadvisable to -go to'the expense, if a separate .meter had" to b» installed. This "was approved as tho church -was .within easy access of the vicarage. ' ■ The Railway Department wrote that the Railway' Station was-on a list forwarded to the -General Manager for .consideration regarding lighting. The Progress League sent a leport protesting against the Government of i pooling interest charges on electrical undertakings, and it was agreed to -support the League on this matter.
