ELECTRIC MOTIVE POWER.
— ♦ It is just as well that the ratepayers in the Special District of the Borough of Feilding acted as they did in the matter of lighting the business part of the town by electricity, and retained tho ] work iv their own hands. Our reason for this opinion is tliat tho Premier ban 1 I | /"! i'J^u./J.Cow .i Hill into tho House en- ; titnled ''An Act relating to Electrical; 1 Motive- Power whk'li provides that not- i withstaniling anything to the contrary coutaiued iv auy other Act, it is declared that from and after the coming into force of the Act, it shall not be lawful for any local authority to grant to any person any right or concession for the purpose of either generating or using electricity as a motive-power without iv each instance the previous consent of the Governor by Order in Council gazetted." As it is a certainty that this power will be a direct source of revenue to the Borough within a very few months after the establishment of the electric work 9, this Act, if passed, will practically secure the monopoly to the Borough.
