KETICULATION COMPLETED (PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) DARGAVILLE, December 19.

Testing on the North Auckland Power Board’s reticulation connecting Dargaville and district with Mareretu (Otamatea county) will occupy some days, but business interests in the town look forward to having electricity available for Christmas. The Paparoa, Matakohe. Ruawai, Mititai, Arapohue, and Turiwiri settlements. along the route of the main reticulation line to Dargaville, have already been connected, and the major portion of the borough has been reticulated and premises wired in anticipation.
