CONSUMPTION ABOVE RATION
POWER SUPPLY DIFFICULTIES Electric power rationing cannot be considered as no longer necessary until the weather becomes warmer, it was stated in a> report to a meeting of the Horowhenua Electric Power Board yesterday by its managing-secretary (Mr. R. A. Frederikson) . 9 The report also stated that since the middle of July there had been a steady increase in the load, with the result that it had been necessary to re-impose rationing in order to keep within the board's allocation. It was unfortunate that this Nstep had become necessary following a Press ' report that the level of Lake Taupo had risen a foot, as consumers had gained the impression that rationing would, therefore, be no longer necessary. Figures quoted at the meeting of the board yesterday showed that almost every day last week the allocation for the district was exceeded. On Monday with an allocation of 71,000 units, 76.000 were consumed.
