Household Refrigeration
A suggestion by Mr. J. 11. Hall that the board should do its utmost to provide an incentive for the public to adopt household refrigeration as a standard principle was discussed briefly at to-day’s meeting of the Poverty Bay Electric-Power Board. The meeting was considering the placing of orders for a supply of refrigerators for the trading department when Mr. Hall raised the point that profits on retail sales should be cut to the minimum in order to encourage householders to adopt refrigeration for health reasons. The chairman, Mr. F. It, Ball, pointed out that the time was not opportune to discuss the policies of the trading department, as the supply of appliances was likely to be affected seriously by the import restrictions. There was not much object in building up a demand which the board could not meet, he added. Mr.. S. H. Phillips stated that the next! few months would find the Newj Zealand market bare of many appli-j ances, owing to import restrictions, and that refrigerators were among the totally prohibited imports. ]
