ARAPUNI POWER
TENDERS FOR TWO MORE GENERATORS (PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) WELLINGTON, December 21. The tenders for two additional generators and turbines for Arapuni have been received by the Public Works Department and probably will be considered by the Cabinet after the Christmas vacation. Arapuni was planned for eight generators, but only four were put into commission. For some time the station has been working at full pressure and it has been decided to increase the power by 50 per cent. The power house is being extended to receive the additional plant, and the building is being enlarged to accommodate the full eight sets, which will probably all be needed within a few years.
