POWER CONSUMERS
PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATION INTERESTS OF MUNICIPALITIES. (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, May 21. Commenting on the action of municipalities supplying electric power in forming an association to protect their interests, the Mayor (Mr T. C. A. Hislop) said to-day that the power boards' policy apparently was, if possible, to get control of the municipallyowned undertakings. This would be in the worst interests of municipalities. There seemed to be a move to get the municipalities taken over, so that their accumulated' resources, the result of years of careful administration, would be used to bolster up benefits they were not entitled to be used for. The association had been forced to protect the rights of municipalities and their consumers.
