Unless there is a big improvement, said State hydro officials, the stringent restrictions must cohtinue. Karapiro lake- level at 8 a.m. was 142 feet above sea level and the oyerflow will begin when the lake rises another '18 feet, possibly by noon tomorrow or early in the afternoon. There have been no unexpeeted developments there but the provision of the 30,000 kilowatts at Karapiro must be oft'set by the loss of 11,000 at Horohora which make a eontinuanee of the restrictions necessary. All going well some maehinery will be tested tomqrrowo
