Conservation of Electric Power.
The continued fall in the level of Lake Taupo, which is now down to 1174.95 feet, is causing the gravest concern and the rain which has fallen over a wide area in the North Island in the last three or four days has not benefited the hydro-electric position Power now has to be rigidly conserved to allow Karapiro to fill and alleviate the winter power position, provided the station is ready in time. The North Island load demand during the peak period has not deviated much from the average summer peak load of about 270,*000 kilowatts,. compared with the winter peak of 360,000 kilowatts. —(P.A.)
