ELECTRIC LIGHT.
The Editor. Sir,—l read with much interest and a certain amount of indignation that the borough council intended leaving certain portions of the borough without the electric light. When the controversy over the lighting question was being carried on some time ago one of the chief arguments used in favour of the electric light was that it could be carried more cheaply and quickly to the outlying portions of the borough. It was freely stated that if gas was installed only portion of the borough would receive the gas supply. On the other hand it was argued if electricity was adopted the whole of the borough residents would receive the benefit of the light. It appears that the borough council with its usual weakness for doing the wrong thing is bent upon making another serious blunder. I trust it will see the error of its attitude in respect to limiting the electric light.—l am, etc.. RATEPAYER. Te Kuiti, March 14th, 1913.
