RESTRICTIONS IN LYTTELTON
EASING ANNOUNCED Domestic water heating, for Lyttelton consumers who have no alternative means of heating water, has been extended from six hours to eight hours a night, and street lights will be turned on for an hour each morning. The electricity committee of the Lyttelton Borough Council decided this at a special meeting yesterday afternoon.
Shop window lighting will be permitted on Friday nights. Block lighting, by which the council supplies under veranda lighting for shops at a cost of £1 a light a year, will be restored. All other restrictions, including the prohibition of space heating, will remain in force. The Town Clerk of Lyttelton (Mr J. Thompson) said last evening that the council had been 'exceeding its quota, and the position would be reviewed in a week.
