POWER FOR PORT LEVY AREA
NEW LINE TO OVERCOME VOLTAGE PROBLEM , * Within three months, the new 33 k.v.a. line would be completed to Little River, and within six months the low voltage problem in the Port Levy area should be overcome, said the engineer (Mr F. A. Lewthwaite) at a recent meeting of the Banks Peninsula Electric Power Board. The chairman (Mr A. M. Helps) had suggested that it would be unfair to impose general power restrictions on consumers, who for some time had been putting up with a low voltage. Mr Lewthwaite said that the board was in the process of catching up with
r the extensions that would have been i done but for the war. The survey for the reticulation of t the Kinloch area would be completed • and estimates brought down before the August meeting, said Mr Lewthwaite. I He said the karri tree in Diamond > Harbour, which residents want proi tected, will not be topped by the board, i although the tree was on the list of trees that might have interfered with 1 power lines, and was due for topping i by contract.
