DOMINION POWER SCHEMES.
VOICE RAISED IN ALARM. GOING AHEAD TOO FAST. [BT TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.] CHBISTCHUBCH. Tuesday. Speaking with regard to hydro-electric-ity, the Mayor of Christchurch, Mr. J. A. Flesher, who recently returned from Auckland after participating in the Municipal Conference, stated that many of the representatives of local bodies with whom he came in contact were alarmed at tho prospect 'of hydro-electric schemes all over the Dominion. " I am convinced," said Mr. Flesher, " that we are going ahead too fast in regard to hydro-electric installations. That is my considered judgment. It 6eems to me as though we will bavo in the future a great many installations that will be like the railways of the Dominion. Those boroughs that have their own plants are not at all disposed to link up with power boards. The hydro-electric schemcs are beginning to look like the old political railways.
