ELECTRIC LIGHT AT REEFTON.
Rekftox, Wednesday. The Electric Light; Company have now about 130 lamps at work, and the light is highly satisfactory. This is about the full number, the present wire supply being too small in diameter. Somo time ago the company wrote to Melbourne for a supply of larger wire, but were recently advised that none was procurable in the colonies. On the 31st December the company cabled to London for two miles of wire of the required thickness, and it should reach here in five or six weeks, when the electrician believes he will be able to run five hundred and twenty lights. The present income of the company about pays the working expenses. mmmmm - mmmmmmmmm mmmmmm
