SALE OF POWER
TO CITY OR TRAMWAYS? fPer Press Association.! CHRISTCHURCH, Cast Night. At a deputation to the Prime Minister this morning’, it was mentioned that the Christchurch Tramway Board was in difficulties and that probably a levy would have to be made. . At present the Government has signed a contract with the Christchurch City Council for its supply of electric power from Lake Coleridge and it proposes to sign, a similar contract for power from the same source with the Christchurch Tramway Board. The Christchurch City Council wishes to supply the Tramway Board with electric power, maintaining that the bigger the City load, the better (ho rates for the ratepayers, and therefore, a benefit to everyone.
The subject was discussed with Mr. Coates by a deputation from the City Council and Tramway Board, but no definite decision was arrived at. The facts were placed before Mr. Coates and he will discuss them with his officers.
