CITY COUNCIL DECISION
AUXILIARY STEAM PLANT,
FOR POWER WORKS
[by telegraph—per press association.]
DUNEDIN, May 31
The City Council yesterday evening approved a recommendation to secure from England a steam plant auxiliary to Waipori power works to generate the equivalent to about 2150 k.w., generated by water at Waipori. The cost of this plant will be between £26,000 and £30,000. An alternative proposal was to hire Diesel engines from the Government at £10,060 per annum for two years, which with costs of operating and charge per unit would involve the same sum as the steam plant.
The steam plant is only a temporary expedient to tide over the next two years demand and in the meantime the question of completing the head works or their sale to the Government will lie 'further investigated. The boilers of the steam plant will he oil fired.
