“APPROXIMATE PRICE”
DIFFERENCE OF £4OO POWER BOARD OBJECTS What is an approximate price? This was the question discussed at this morning’s meeting of the Waitemata Electric-Power Board, when a letter was read from the Public Works Department, Hamilton, stating that the cost of the 11,000-volt switchgear supplied by the department for the Takapuna and Henderson sub-stations would be £1,935 instead of £1.530, which had been the approximate price previously quoted. The chairman. Mr. J. W r . Hayden, said the department had supplied the switchgear used in the Lake Coleridge scheme and now the price charged was £4OO more than at the time it was suppliedMr. Kennings said it was a serious matter for the board to find itself £ 400 worse off. The Chairman: I take it we would be willing to settle up within £IOO of the price quoted. The question was left in the hands of the chairman and engineer with power to act.
