NOTICE TO CORRESPONDENTS [Letters to the Editor must be written in ink on one side of the paper only and not exceed 200 words. Envelopes should be endorsed “Readers Write.” 3 Your correspondent “Agitated" seems to me to be the one belonging to Pan, because his extreme suggestion that the North Auckland Electric-

power Board should take over the municipal supply, since that supply firstly

prohibited the use of radiators, and then reinstated their domestic and commercial use between certain hours of the day. This is just so much balderdash. There is no comparison between a municipal electric supply the size of Whangarei, and a rural power beard like the North Auckland. Whangarei has two loads—a winter load and a summer load. Probably, Whangarei borough supply is at its highest peak now, or within a week or two because the industrial, commercial and domestic loads all come on at the same time. This will apply to all metropolitan supply authorities, whether they he municipal or power board. On the other hand, probably in the second or third week in July, the North Auckland Power Board will find itself in the flush of the dairy season, and, given some of the wet and dark days sometimes experienced in July and August, together with a heavy milking load, the N.A.P.B might find itself, as the Americans would says, “well in the cactus." “RATEPAYER.’’
