Per Press Association. INVERCARGILL, Aug. 26. Opinions strongly against the disposal of the Monowai generating station to the Government and against tlie acceptance of the Government’s terms for the supply of additional power were presented to the South- . land Electric Power Board to-day. The board’s secretary and chief engineer, who had examined the position in.de-| tail, were supported in their findings bv independent investigators. , The board unanimously decided j against both the disposal of the gen-j erating station to the Government and ! the acceptance of the Government s j terms for the supply of additional j power. The Government had offered ; to pay the board £435,000 (in New ! Zealand currency) for the works. j The Canadian Government is at- • tempting to meet a threatened overproduction in butter by offering a bonus of slightly over a cent a pound for all cheese produced in the next nine months.
