SUPPLY OF POWER
BRIGHTER PROSPECTS COMING WINTER MONTHS To safeguard the supply of electricity in Dunedin during the coming winter months, the Electricity Department of the City Council is at present buying as much power as possible from the Government to conserve the storage of water at Waipori.' The level of the dam is approaching 78 feet—the highest level in its history. Giving this information to the Daily Times on Wednesday, Cr Wright, chairman of the City Council Electricity Committee, said that with the final development of Waipori, which it was hoped would be started in the coming year, the Electricity Department was more confident than ever that the future electricity supply position would be safeguarded. The prospects for power next winter were considerably brighter at presept than at this time last year. Cr Wright added.
