BOILERS AT POWER PLANT.
FIRM OFFERS COMPENSATION.
Compensation for the delay caused to the Auckland Power Board by the defective furnaces under the new boilers at King's wharf power station has been offered the board in a letter from i'abcock, Wilcox, Ltd., the designers of the boilers. In the letter which the board received yesterday the company also made a proposal to instal a different type of furnace, with water-cooled walls, at a reduced cost.
It was decided, on the motion of the chairman, Mr. W. J. Holdsworth, to inform Babcock and Wilcox that the proposal could not be accepted, and to call on them to make such alterations to the boilers as would bring them within the terms of their contract.
