LOW GAS PRESSURE
STATEMENT BY AUCKLAND COM PANY.
By Telegreoh—Press Association. Auckland, January 13. Replying to a suggestion of the Auckland Prices Investigation Tribunal, which is in receipt of many complaints from gas consumers on account of the low pressure in the mains, that it would bo preferable if_a full pressure were given during selected hours of the day and night and a complete cut-off during other hours, the manager of the company (Mr. J. Lowe) has sent a statement to the effect that the company considers tho present arrangement has been made with the object of causing a minimum of unemployment and inconvenience to the public. “If your suggestion were given effect to,” says the communication, “it could only be done by cutting off tho present daytime supply, to the city. The saving of gas thus effected would enable the full pressure hours (at present 4.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.ra.) to be somewhat lengthened, but it would be a serious deprivation to hospitals and nursing homes, not to mention factories, restaurants, and tea rooms, which are chiefly located in the city pfloper.”
