ELECTRIC POWER
MEETING OF WAIRARAPA BOARD
REVENUE FOR NOVEMBER.
CHANGE-OVER OF WATER HEATERS.
(“Times-Age” Special.)
The actual net revenue fur November, reported Mr G. Brown, secretarymanager, to the monthly meeting of the Wairarapa Electric Power Board, at Carterton, today, was £6,461, which exceeded the estimate by £361.- For the first eight months of the year the revenue was £56,162, the gain on the estimate being £B2. The peak load this quarter was still less than the peak on which the estimate of cost of power for the quarter was based.
The turnover, reported Mr Brown, was about half of what it was last year and seeing that a large proportion of the staff would be engaged on changing over water-heaters until the end of the year, the .final result might be slightly less than the estimate. During November two new consumers were connected, making the total number 6384. as compared with 6356 twelve months ago. The expenditure on construction and reconstruction work so far this year amounted to £2,263. The change-over of the waterheaters from a flat rate to a metered rate was proceeding.
