Cashmere Power Failure
Sir,—For the fourth time in] recent years, there has been a; major power failure in Cashmere. Each occasion has been associated with the New Zealand Electricity Department feeder which runs between the Addington and Barrington
i street sub-stations. Although continuity of supply is a fun'damental requirement of distribution design, there is only a single link to the denselypopulated area of Cashmere. 'When is the Electricity Department going to provide the Barrington street sub-station with an adequate alternative 'feeder?—Yours, etc., J.S.P.
January 19, 1967. [The district electrical engineer of the Electricity Department (Mr R. S. S. Mere-] dith) replies: “Arrangements are in hand for two new underground cables to supply Barrington street substation. These are expected to be in service by September next and the existing overhead line will then be dis-, mantled.”]
