ELECTRIC POWER STATION.
By Telegraph—Press Association.
DUNEDIN, April 30. A party of City Councillors and others went out to Waipori Falls, yesterday, to inspect the works and to witness the Mayor, Mr Lawrence, turning on the electric power generated there by hydraulic machinery. The power station was reached at noon, and the party spent two hours going over the works, Mr Goodman explaining the machinery. By way of an experiment, Mr Goodman turned on the power of one generator, the circuit being closed at Half-way Bush, and ran the other generator as a motor. Luncheon was served at the men's barracks, and various toasts were honored. Afterwards the Mayor—who, in the morning, had ' laid the marble slab inscribed to commemorate the occasion—turned on the power.
