SEASIDE LIGHTS
COMPLAINT TO POWER BOARD,
At Tuesday’s meeting of the Horowhenua Power Board, Mi' W. E. Barber said that the street lighting at Foxton Beach was still unsatisfactory. He produced a statement showing that though there were only five lamps there they had been renewed 22 times this year. In spite of that most of the lamps were always
out. The engineer said this was due to the type of lamp and the poles being in sand and subject to vibration. They had done everything possible by staying the brackets and staying tli6 lamps and tiying a sorts of lamps, there. The trouble was that where there was only five or six lamps tliey-f could not use the same type of lamp as where there was a series of 20 or 30 street lights. The same trouble had been experienced everywhere and several power boards were expecting the arrival of a new style of lamp with a reinforced filament that would be suitable for such places. These would be to hand soon and would be tried at Foxton.
