DUNEDIN’S ELECTRICITY
SHORTAGE STILL SERIOUS TRAM SERVICE RESTRICTED From Our Own Correspondent DUNEDIN, Today. The light rain which fell in Dunedin on Friday raised the level of the lake at the Waipori power station by six inches. The city electrical engineer, Mr. M. C. Henderson, regards this as a hopeful sign, but says it has not removed cause for anxiety, as the level must rise several feet more before the danger can be considered past. Mr. Henderson also suggests that the rise may be partly due to the lighter load on the power station as a result of the economy measures instituted by the City Council. A curtailed tram service began this morning, consisting of a six-hour service, with the trams stationary during the slack hours. The trams will run from 7 to 9 a.m., 4.30 to 6.15 p.m., 7 to S p.m.. and 10 to 11 p.m., thus catering for the working public during the day and the theatre traffic during the evening. Bus services will run continuously during the day to carry the passengers formerly carried by the trams.
