ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
In the course of bis report to the Manawatli-Oroua Power Board, yesterday, the chief engineer (Mr W. A. Waters) stated: A magpie was the cause of a cross-arm on the main lines to Feilding being burnt through, and this was replaced during the night to minimise the extent of the interruption to the freezing works. The outdoor sub-station at Feilding has now been completed and the poles and platform which formerly carried the 900 k.v.a. bank of transformers has been dismantled, while the 11.000-volt Halcombe line through the borough has been restrained, and the strain insulators changed to a new model.
