Lightning Benefited These People
v. A lightning storm had recently been responsible for consumers in the Otaki area getting more hot water than they otherwise would have been entitled to under rationing, commented the Horowhertua Power Board engineer, Mr. J. F. Bryce, at yesterday's board meetmg. > Apparently the board's remote control system was damaged by lightning which put it out of action for a while. Under the circumstances the damage could have been extensive, but in this case it was fortunately only minor and that was why the fault was not noticed for some time. However, the consumers in the area had benefited. by getting a longer period of hot water service.
