POWER SUPPLY
STATE HOUSES TO BE CONNECTED INSTRUCTIONS T.O AUCKLAND BOARD (P.A.) AUCKLAND, June 14. “If consumers carry on as at present, we will have no alternative but to cut off some of our lines,” said the general manager, Mr R. H. Bartley, at a meeting of the Auckland Electric Power Board, when the subject of the power shortage was under discussion. Ibe board, said Mr Bartley, was not getting the co-operation from the domestic consumer that it was asking for, and he felt that it would not get it until drastic action had been taken. Mr J. Park referred to the direction received last month from the Electricity Controller instructing the board to connect up 100 Government houses a month. “What is the use of asking us to connect further house loads to something we are asked to reduce?” he wanted to know. It was the height of idioey.
