A RECORD MONTH
IN ELECTRIC LIGHT EXTENSION BUSINESS. Previous to May last tho largest number of electrical connections mado with the lighting power-house of the City Corporation for any one month was 174. That number, however,' was very easily beaten during the month of May, when no fewer than 20S new connections wero made. The figures for April showed a falling off in the amount of revenue received by the electrical lighting department compared with April of 1914, amounting to £255. In viewing these figures it should lie remembered that tlie price of eleotrical current has been reduced Id. per unit since .April of last year. The real guide is the number of units sold each month. The figures for April show that 252,0-18 units were sold, as compared with 236,800 sold m the corresponding month of last year. The new connections made in April were 124, as compared with 203 in Slay.
