THE POWER SHORTAGE
Sir, —Could it be explained why housewives in the Heathcote county are still without power for two hours every week-day afternoon, while restrictions are lifted elsewhere and power cuts stopped in city areas? We have understood the need for savings up to date, but are becoming impatient now to use our sewing machines again, not to say irons and radios at this time in the day. Is there any reason for the discrepancy between our county and the city in this matter?— Yours, etc., June 18. 1956. CASHMERE. (“The consumption of power in Heathcote is on a totally different basis from that of the city, and restrictions are being constantly reviewed,’’ said the Heathcote County Clerk (Mr R. W. Morris) last evening. “The power
cut to which the correspondent refers has already been relaxed.”]
