ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
REDUCTION IN THE BRITISH DEMAND. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY. April 16. The effects of the war are reflected in the twelfth annual report of the Central Electieity Board, which states that the blackout and the curtailment of non-essential industries, despite the increase iii munition work, have already caused a substantial reduction in the maximum demand for electricity supply. It appears improbable that any material increase will take place because of the war. The report says: "It can be confidently asserted that the existence of the grid system, which owes its origin largely to the recognition of deficiencies in the organisations of the electricity supply industry as a whole during the last war. is a material factor in increasing the contribution of the industry to the present national war effort."
