THIS LIGHTING OF PORT CHALMERS.
! TO THE EDITOR Siu,—l observe in your report ol yesterday's Dock Trust moeting that Mr Dodds moved that an electric liirhting plant be provided for use in the pravinp dock, and, if arrangements could bo made with the Government, that the wharves, railway station, etc., should also be lighted.' I am only sony Mr Dodds did uol go "0110 better," and suggest that the Borough Council of Port Chalmers be approached with a view to. light the town by the same means, i The present system of lighting leaves great room for improvement, the gas being ; inferior in quality, and where kerosene is nsd a; ttindh; or mutch is almost necessary to discover "the whereabouts of the • lamp post. I trust Mr Dodds'a suggestion | will receive the hearty support of every I ratepayer in Port Chalmers, with the addi- ; tion I have stated, and become an aocomj plished fact in the near future. I "His remarks as to the present illumination of the wharves are all too mild, as only thoso who have to work on them at night know the difficulties awl (lungers of the,present system by sad experience of a personal nature.—l am, etc., , More Light. Port Chalmers, August 28.
