Lansdowne Valley
Sir.—The statement made by Mr McGuigan in a letter to the Paparua County Council and quoted in “the Press” yesterday leaves one v.onuering just what sort of politics is being played with the Electricity Department. At the time of the last 'ection Mr McGuigan made the 1 Lansdowne Valley scheme a political issue. In “The' Press” of December 4 the) Minister said: “negotiations:
were proceeding to purchase 15 acres in Leadleys Road.” Now, after all this talk and a promise on February 27 that “electricity power shortages will be a thing of the past by 1976” we are told that this particular scheme will not now’» be • even thought about before ' and on the front page ’ of “The Press” yesterday we 1 read: “Total power cuts a possibility”. What plans has ' the Labour Government to ■ improve our present impos--1 sibir electricity position?—Yours, etc., POWER CRAZY I -March 6, 1974.
