COMMUNITY LIGHTING.
ADOPTED BY LEVIN
“Consumers are being signed up for community lighting in Levin, and the installation of the lights will be gone on with as soon as this is complete,” stated Mr. J. A. Smith, engineer to the Horowhenua Power Board, in his report to the monthly meeting on Tuesday. This refers to a system whereby lights are maintained under the verandas and in the front of business premises. The secretary (Mr. P. W. Goldsmith) said it was presumed that the Board was favourable to the usual charge for community lamps —viz., £3 10s per year —a matter which although previously mentioned, had not actually been decided upon. The following rates were now submitted for the Board’s approval or otherwise: — For a 100-watt lamp (200 can-dle-power) erected and maintained by the Board and to be alight from dusk to' 10.30 p.m.— Per lamp up to 2 lamps—£3 10s per lamp per year, payable in advance; or if paid on the bi-monthly accounts, 12s per lamp per period. Per lamp for 3 lamps or more—£3 5s per lamp per year, payable in advance; or if paid for on the bimonthly account, 11s 2d per lamp per period. The rates of charge were approved by the Board. The report was adopted.
