“NO WORSE THAN LAST JUNE”
STATEMENT MADE BY CONTROLLER (P.A.) WELLINGTON, May 4. “I don’t think the situation will be any worse this June than it was last June,” said the electricity controller (Mr F. T. M. Kissel) discussing Mr Main’s ’’statement in Auckland. Mr Kissel explained that the allocation of power to authorities was based on the amount consumed in the corresponding week of last year. Thus, by the middle of June of this year, supply authorities. would be receiving the same amount of power as at that time last year. Asked if power would be available to implement this programme. Mr Kissel said he did not think the situation would be any worse this winter than at the corresponding time last year. “We are just holding our own now,” he said. ’Tn fact, we have- gained a little at Waikaremoana, though there has been no rain at Taupo as yet” He felt that seasonal rains would in due course bring some relief.
