A COLD OUTLOOK
FOR ELECTRICITY USERS. Unless consumption of electricity is reduced to within limits of safety there is a possibility of householders being faced with sitting down to a cold meal by candle light. Such a drastic measure would be the result of the inability, not the unwillingness, of the supply authorities to cope with the position. In short, you can’t get a quart out of a pint pot. The quart is represented by the requirements of industry, of military camps, and of the undiminished demands of domestic users. The pint is the fixed capacity of the North Island in the supply of power—fixed until further power-producing plant can be brought from England. The co-operation of every consumer is needed if rationing is to be avoided. —lssued by the Electricity Controller, Public Works Department.
