ELECTRIC POWER
CONFERENCE OF ENGINEERS (Peb United Press Association) WELLINGTON, September 9. The annual conference of the electric supply authority engineers was officially opened to-day by the Minister of Public Works, Mr J. Bitchener. The Minister said that during the past year regulations in connection with electrical supplies had been published which had taken years of work. He congratulated the compilers on their painstaking effort. Possibly all present would not agree with the regulations, but he urged the co-operation of the association as the only means of arriving at a basis satisfactory to all concerned. The engineers were the leaders in the Dominion's electrical development, and the country looked to them to give a lead. The Government was keenly interested in electricity, and would leave no stone unturned to do what it considered fair and right. Mr Bitchener paid a tribute to Mr F. T. M. Kissel, chief electrical engineer of the Public Works Department, as a man of outstanding ability. Mr J. A. Nash, M.P., president of the Power Boards and Supply Authorities' Association, opened the annual conference of the secretaries' branch of the association, paying a tribute to the secretaries as the financial and executive heads of the organisation. The annual report showed great progress during the past year.
