MR. SEMPLE SAYS SAVE NOW
WELLINGTON, Feb. 10. If electricity users save whatever power is possible now, in order that the water storage in the lakes should not be drawn upon prematurely, and provided hydraulic conditions are not adverse, there is no reason wliv the promised allocation of power for both the Xorth and South Islands cannot bc supplied, tfilthough there may be some •difficulty with peak loads. This statement was made today by Mr. Semple on the eve of liis departurt l!or Australia in search of much-needed steel for New Zealand. Mr. Semple said the supply of oil fuel for the Evans Bay (Wellington) power station would only be one-third of the usual requirements,* and it was likely tlie shortage might continue for sonu time.
