ARAPUNI TO STRATFORD Good progress is being made with the construction of a 110,000-volt electric transmission line from Arapuni to Strata ford, a distance of 123 miles. The object of the line is to connect the Arapuni system with the Mangahao and Waikaremoana systems, and to supplement the Taranaki reticulation with current from Arapuni when the capacity of the Mangahao system is fully extended. , The new line follows a route through the King Country, touching Puketutu, Ohura, Tangarakau, and Whangamomona. About three-quarters of the line is constructed, and the whole of the work is expected to be completed before next winter. Most of the line will be suspended from wooden poles, but over the hilly country steel towers are being erected.
