MESSAGE MISLEADING
When the message was referred tq the managing-secretary of the Horowhenua Electric Power Board (Mr. R. A. Frederikson) , he commented that it was misleadihg. Although the power allocation was now up to 76,000 units, he said, it left no surplus to go on.' While the board might be able to get through without rationing, it would still be running very close to the limit of the allocation. The December allocation was based on the warmer weather of former years, and if there was a further cold spell, rationing would be again necessary. Advice recently received by the board from the rationing controller was as follows: "In view of the recent improvement at Taupo, and notwithstanding the fact that Waikaremoana is well below the level of previous years, we can, provided that all supply authorities keep down to theiryquota, now return to the allocation operating in January last. If hydro conditions deteriorate, however, and consumption exceeds the aggregate, it will be necessary to decrease the allocation."
