Electrical Equipment Hard To Get
"Position in connection with supplies is very bad indeed,” said the chairman of the North Auckland Power Board (Mr McLean) yesterday. "The board cannot import any more ranges.” "Transformers will be made in New Zealand in future. "The engineer is of the opinion that local manufacturers cannot supply 50 per cent, of the Dominion’s requirements. "1 am of the opinion that the board should deal more direct with the Minister, otherwise the reticulation work will come to a standstill.” Mr Appleton: You are very optimistic. Mr McLean: That may be. We have, upon application, now been allowed a license to import poles. Mr Appleton: The position is that the manufacturers are not prepared to export goods to New Zealand on terms of deferred payment; as proposed by the Govei’nment.
