That this Board approves of the principle and policy of appropriating each year from the net profit made during the previous yeai of an amount to be credited to a special account for the purpose of subsidising the capital cost of such extensions to serve new consumers as may be determined from time to time by the Board.” Mr Dalgleish seconded the motion which was defeated by four votes to three. Advice was received from the Power Board’s Association that the annual conference at Wellington had been postponed indefinitely.
