RESTRICTED GAS SUPPLIES
SHORTAGE OF COAL IN AUCKLAND
(P.A.) AUCKLAND. January 15. Auckland housewives will again face a restriction of the gas supply from to-morrow. No gas will be available from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. each day, and further restrictions are likely on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. The reasons are the resumption of business and manufacturing activities after the holidays and the difficulties looming in the coal supply situation. The main difficulty is said to be shipping. There are several thousand tons of gas coal awaiting shipment at Greymouth, but it is reported that no crews are available to man the coal boats now at Wellington.
