Grant for car
The University of Canterbury's electric-vehicle project will get a $lO,OOO grant from the Christchurch City Council. Originally, the council's public utilities committee had offered only to assist the development project with in-kind services of the Municipal Electricity Department. But Cr Vicki Buck last evening moved that M.E.D. funds should also be used to help the researchers.
Such vehicles would not be an overnight solution to problems of pollution and energy conservation, she said, but “a long-term thing.” Cr D. C. Close said that local authorities “had to step into the gap” left by the Government’s failure so far to fund such a project. The Government will also be asked to match the council’s grant with S 5 for every $1 the council spends on the project.
