LAKE COLERIDGE POWER.
MORE VILLAGES LIT. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) OH'RISTCHUROH, Sunday. Electric current from Lake Coleridge was turned on for the first time at 'Leeston, Springston and Springston South last* night. The ceremony was performed by Sir R. Heaton Rhodes. Referring to hydro-electric development throughout New Zealand, the Minister said the Government realised that electricity must be developed, and it meant to develop the schemes as quickly as possible. Mr. A. G. Henderson, president of the Canterbury Progress League, said in no part of the world so sparsely populated as Canterbury was there a better or a cheaper electricity supply. It was due in a large measure to successive Governments and to the present Minister of Public Works and his colleagues.
