SALE OF POWER.
TO CITY OR TRAMWAYS? CHRISTCHURCH, Last Night. A.t a deputation to the Prime Minister this morning, it was mentioned that the Christchurch Tramway Board was in difficulties and that probably a levy would have to be made. At present the Government has signed a contract with the Christchurch City Council for its supply of electric power from Lake Coleridge and it proposes to sign a similar contract for power from th e same source with the Christchurch Tramway Board. The Christchurch City Council wishes to supply the Tramway Board with electric power, maintaining that the bigger the City load, the better i the rates for the ratepayers, and therefore, a benefit to everyone. The subject was discussed with Mr. Coates by a deputation from the. City Council and Tramway Board, but no definite decision was arrived at. The facts were placed before Mr. Coates and he will discuss them with his officers. ■ '
