MR MASSEY’S DENUNCIATION. “RECKLESS AND EXTRAVAGANT.” WELLINGTON. Doc. 2. In the House this morning, on a motion to go into Committee of Supply, Mr Massey denounced the new departure in the scheme for electrical supply as reckless and extravagant in the extreme. The House had agreed to the proposals without sullicicnt informal ion on the subject. Waipori was the only system in the Dominion on which an opinion could be based, and that was not successful, although there were indications that it might bo. He said the prospects of the Waipori scheme were better than any other of the Government’s proposals. He quoted figures from authorities he had been reading up. from which he concluded the schemes were not payable. Unless local bodies were prepared to take their power from the State the Government should not go on with the enterprise. He threw doubts on the Kaitnna scheme paying in face of Auckland’s steam-developed supply.
