Power from the new generator at the Lake Coleridge bydro-ejectric station is not expected to be available just yet (remarks the Lyttelton Times), as there Is still a small amount of work to be carried out before it will be completed. Several trials of the new plant have been made, but it has not yet been possible to generate electricity. It is hoped to have the plant completed during this week. According to a return presented by the Works' and Traffic Committee at the meeting of the Christchurch Tramway Board on July 5 46 public accidents were reported during the month of May, made up as follows:—Collisions with motor cars, 17; collisions with carts, 8; collisions with cyclists, 3; collisions with motor vehicles other than cars, 3; passengers alighting from moving cars, 12; miscellaneous, 3.
