CENTENNIAL GRANTS
Auckland Power Board’s Plans By Telegraph—Press Association. AUCKLAND, July 3. Decisions to give £lOOO toward the cost of the Auckland Centennial Memorial Park in the Waitakere Ranges, to grant the free supply of £BOO worth of power and maintenance for the city’s centennial illuminations, and to limit its contributions for all centennial purposes to £4OOO, were made unanimously by the Auckland Electric Power Board, today.
The chairman, Mr. S. J. Harbutt, said the sum of £4OOO would be reached by the expenditure so far decided upon by the board. It had already been decided to give £lOOO toward the cost of the Auckland Court at the New Zealand Centennial Exhibition in Wellington, and to spend £6OO on a combined electrical display at the exhibition. To these two contributions were now to be added a £lOOO gift to the Auckland memorial, £BOO worth of power and maintenance for illuminations, the £450 the board intended to spend on its own account for the illumination of its own buildings and £l5O which the board’s float in the centennial pageant would cost.
