Speaking to a “Chronicle” representative this morning Mr E. Slevm the Horowhenua Power Board’s nevv reticulation officer, mentioned that in the Waikato, electric ranges were gaining considerable popularity. A good range capable of cooking for a family of eight cost retail about £25 and in the Waikato, with power at'3d per unit, such a- range would cost 30s _ per month to run. In the Horowhenua district it is intended to sell power at l?,d per unit and also to obtain quotations for ranges at wholesale rates, these to be purchased by the Boara for consumers when the price wni naturally be considerably less. it would appear as if cooking by this means in the Horowhenua district should be an attractive proposition.
