Restrictions on the use of electricity have been announced by the Heathcote County Council. Water heaters and radiators are not to be used between 10 d.tn. and 6 pm. Out- ! side lighting is pfqhibited except by permission of the council. The council appeals to consumers to reduce their use of power in any other way possible. The Springs-Ellesmere Electric 1 Power Board announces that, as its power allocation is being exceeded, consumers are requested to save units whenever possible and to observe the following restrictions:— All uncontrolled water-heaters are to be switched off for at least four hours daily and radiators are to be used only when absolutely necessary; electric advertising signs may be used between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m.. .only and shop window lighting may be used only when the shop is open; lighting for indoor and outdoor sports is to be reduced by 25 per cent. The board hopes that with the full co-operation of consumers, further restrictions will be avoided.
