A stretch of only about four miles of the line between Dunedin and the Waitaki hydro-electric power station has now to be finished. Lake Coleridge, which supplies Canterbury and North Otago, is already connected with Waitaki. Work on the four-mile stretch has been held up awaiting the arrival of twenty poles from Australia. They are expected to be available almost immediately, and the completion of the line will then be only a matter of a few days. It is understood that after 'the completion of the line some time will elapse before the full linking-up with Waiporl is effected. Once this is done the system from North Canterbury to South Otago will be complete. Two hundred women were widowed and 800 children left fatherless by the recent mining disaster at Gresford.
