Rain last week helped hydro-electric storage but the ■ need to conserve power was ; "as great as ever/’ the Min- ' ister of Electricity (Mr McGuigan) said today. ’ “Last week’s rain brought • a useful increase in storage ; in southern lakes, but for the . North Island the best that • could be said was that it • halted the drain," he said in . a statement.
