POWER FAILURE
A Protracted Stoppage
For an hour and a-half from 12.53 p in. yesterday the whole of the Waitalti Electric Po\*er Board’s area was without power. The interruption was caused by lightning striking the main supply switch inside the Weston sub-station. Yesterday’s and Saturday’s interruptions were the longest experienced in North Otago for several years.
