EASTBOURNE POWER LINES
It was mentioned at last meeting of the Hutt Valley Electric Power Board that only one complaint had been received from the whole of the residents of Eastbourne concerning the voltage. “The taps,” said the engineer aud general manager (Mr. E. F. Hollands), “are right up to the limit, and the lines on the Hutt Road are overloaded. It is impossible under the conditions to get regular voltage on lines built for 3000 voltage and carrying 5000. Undoubtedly there is low voltage in Eastbourne at certain hours when power is being used in the industrial area. This will continue until a sub-station is erected at Gracefield, and new power lines erected.”
