Question of Soliciting Business “Is it a fact that the Hutt Valley Electric Power Board’s representatives, in soliciting business, say they will not install electric cookers until the gas ones are out?” asked Mr. A. Scholefield at, the meeting of the Petone and Lower Hutt Gas Lighting Board last night. The secretary, Mr. O. Silbery, said a lady had told him that she had had that experience. Mr. D. W. Campbell said the power board had suffered a loss of 6000 kilowatts load after the Tawa Flat scheme, and it had embarked ou a policy of installing cheaply electric stoves to recoim the loss. The chairman, Mr. W. G. Lodder: More power to them I Mr. «S. Clendon: I don’t think we should waste our time on the affairs of the power board. They have got their own job and we have got ours. The discussion then lapsed.
