WAIPORI POWER
MILTON STREETS LIGHTED Additional evidence, if any were required, of the progressive policy which is stedfastly carried out by the Electric Power and Lighting Department of the City Council is afforded by the successful completion of the extension of Waipori power to Milton, the chairman of the committee (Cr Shaddock) haring informed us that the street lights in the borough were switched on for the first time last night. This circumstance marks a distinct epoch in the history of Milton, and the illunri nation of their streets with brilliant electric■ lamps would undoubtedly be very cordially welcomed by the citizens. Cr Shacklock added that it was hoped to extend the lighting to-night to those private houses and other premises which have been connected up, and that as from to-day the woollen mill will be partly running on Waipori power. The Electric Power and Lighting Department views the completion of the line with groat satisfaction, more particularly, perhaps, as the line has now become revenue producing.
