RADIO STATION.
TWO-WAY SCHEME.
PROPOSAL FOR AUCKLAND.
POWER BOARD REPORT.
Hopes are held by the Auckland Eleetrict Power Board that there will be early developments in connection with the installation of a two-way radio scheme in Auckland, which has been under discussion for some time, as, in the event of power breakdowns, the board's repairing trucks could be communicated with and directed.
In a report, presented at a meeting of the board yesterday afternoon, the general manager, Mr. R. H. Bartley, said that a proposed service, from n station to be established in Auckland for twoway communication, had been discussed with the Government Radio Department. The suggestion had been made that the board should wait for the t-rection of a transmisr-ion station to be operated in connection with the Tasmaii air terminal, smaller coastal shipping, and such demands as police and ambulance.
Mr. Bartley eaid it had been gathered that the work was going ahead, but it would, be some months Ik fore the station could be completed. The Department had undertaken to inform the board of the cost of such a service, with details of service and when it would be available.
