POWER IN THE WAIKATO
STANDBY PLANT WANTED
(By Telegraph.—Presa Association.)
HAMILTON; This Day.
An assurance that the Government would fulfil its promise to .erect a stand-by steam plant for' the- supply of electricity to South Auckland. was sought by the Central Power Board today. It was stated that whether _6r not the Government would proceed with Arapuni, it had promised a stand-by plant. At present the board had a year of expansion to face, and could, not assure consumers that ample power would'be available, ' • ' -
A protest was entered at the delay of the Loans Board to grant an application for permission to take a loau poll for the supply of power to Raglan. Mr. Or. Smith remarked that the'situa. tion at Arapuni had nothing to • do with the position of the. Loans .Board treating them like children.
