linking up with mains Human life must be safeguarded, and if there is the slightest danger we should certainly not press the matter, remarked Mr. H. E. Blyde, provincial president, at a meeting of the North Taranaki executive of the Farmers' Union on Friday, when a reply from Mr. B. H. Goldsmith, engineer-manager of the Taranaki Power Board, to a letter from the executive asking for a report 011 the question of linking up electric fences to power mains was read. There were, he understood, on the market elaborate and well constructed electric fence units, which it would be quite safe to connect to the electric supply mains, Mr. Goldsmith wrote. Final decision, he eaid, rested with the Public Works Department. and he thought that the difficulty in which the department found itself was that once permission was granted for the use of such appliances, it would be difficult to prevent cheaper and less safe units from being used.
