STREET LAMP IMPORTS
Cut In M.E.D.’s Licence
Lamps useA for the Municipal Electricity Department’s many series street lighting circuits must be imported from the United Kingdom. Because of the shortage of overseas funds, the Department of Industries and Commerce has advised the City Council that its order for series street lamps has been reduced from £l6OO to £7OO.
It was unlikely that the £7OO worth of lamps would carry the department through without difficulties until lamps could come in under the next licensing period, the electricity committee reported to the council last evening. Every attempt would be made to get the maximum
possible life out of each lamp, irrespective of its reduced efficiency, in the hope that an adequate service could be maintained.
