MR. ARTHUR W. WHITE Numbered among the candidates for the honour of representing Takapuna borough upon the Waitemata ElectricPower Board is Mr. Arthur W. White managing director of the National Machinery Co.. Ltd., of Auckland. - Mr. White is well-known in electrical and machinery circles throughout New Zealand, having been for many years, prior to founding the National Machinery Co., Ltd., Dominion representative for Messrs.
