ELECTRIC POWER.
SUPPLY FROM NEW PLYMOUTH. WAITARA ACCEPTS OFFER. The question of the supply of electrio power to areas outside the borough of New Plymouth was before the Borough Council last night. The Waitara Borough Council wrote agreeing to accept the offer of the council to supply at the power station, Waitara, 0000 volts at a price of £l2 per h.p., payable quarterly, with a guaranteed peak load per quarter of 05 k.w., subject to the necessary loan for the cost of the reorganisation being approved by the ratepayers. The date of the poll would be fixed by the council at its next meeting on December 13. The approximate date on which it was expected that the supply would be available was also asked for. The Taranaki Electric Power Board intimated that it had been decided to hold the council’s amended offer for supply of electricity in abeyance for the present.
The Mayor (Mr. F. E. Wilson) stated that the Power Board were meeting again on December 15, when they would again consider the offer, which they had till December 31 to either accept or reject.
