SPECIAL LIGHTING
CITY SHOP ENTRANCES
Agreement to the suggestion that discretionary power should be given to the local authority to permit special lighting of shop entrances in Auckland was expressed in a letter from the Minister of Supply, Mr. Sullivan, received vesterday by the Mayor. Mr. Allum. The letter states that the Electricity Controller is advising the Auckland Power Board that applications from shopkeepers for shop entrance lighting should be approved, subject to porch and entrance lights being directly connected to street lighting control circuits.
"As the consumption or electricity in Auckland continues to exceed the allocation made by the Electricity Controller," the letter says, "it is, I am afraid, impossible to allow any major concessions in the way of power for lighting. In any case, a general return to after-hours shop window and shop interior lighting is out -of the' question in view of the necessity to provide a blackout in any period of emergency."
