POWER SUPPLY
Sir— ln the debate on power sup•>jv Mr Semple is quoted as saying :'-at when he took over his portfolio looked to see what plans the prenou> Government had: there were E hard t 0 rGconcile this statement w ith facts. The Hydro-electric Department has had, for many years, a roup of engineers whose task it is to 10 and 20 years ahead and to bring forward proposals at the right tnne. If Mr Semple did not see their proposals, it can only have been because he refused to consider them. Has he forgotten how he stopped work on the upper development at Waikarejnoana? And how indignant he was ,fhen it was pointed but fin “The press” and elsewhere) that Mr Semple’s refusal to go on with such plans would inevitably lead to power shortage? One might sympathise with Mr Semple if he could admit his own mistakes.— Yours, etc., A. LUSH. September 23. 1948.
