COLERIDGE POWER.
TO THB KDITOB OF THB rKESS. Sir—Can you please inform me as to the position regarding Coleridge powert Are all restrictions off? Has the lake returned to its old level, which wag about fourteen feet short at tho time of the power shortage? It seems to me as if the restrictions are off in some country County Councils. In any case, I have noticed that some County Councils practise economy more than others. For example, one country County Council put its street lights on practically at sunset, whereas another, and a suburban County Council, puts its lights on at the correct lighting-up time; which I presume is half an hour after sunset. Surely this is an unnecessary waste of power in the former case, which could easily be remedied. In these times of stress all people should economise.—Yours, etc., ECONOMY. November 21st, 1030. [According to the last report issued bv the Public Works Department the level of the lake is still more tlian nine feet below normal, and consumers are therefore expected to economise as much as possible until there is a complete recovery.]
