SCHEMES WILL PAY.
MR COATES AND WATER-POWER. (SFECIAL TO "THE rKEBS.") KAITOKE, October 19. The Prim? Minister was interesting when speaking of hydro-electric devel-, opments this morning. . "We have finished Arapuni,'' he said, "and in conjunction with that Waikaremoana. You will hear quite a lot of criticism probably as to whether these will pay. The contract "for the sale of . the power of these schemes is made before the schemes -are developed; The schemes will pay from the very day we turn the juice on. There"are no hairbrained schemes. We lia.ve had these schemes, put before experts from abroad, and- not one of them can knock a hole in them. The idea is to put the power right through the country, and give the people in the rural districts and the people in the towns equal facilities so far as that can be done."
