E.P.S. POLICY IN CHRISTCHURCH
Lighting Offences To Be Penalized (P.A.) CHRISTCHURCH, March 5. The prosecution of the occupiers of business premises not complying with the blackout regulations and the disconnection of lighting for breaches by residential occupiers will be the policy of E.P.S. officials in Christchurch, according to a statement issued today dealing with a trial blackout held last month. “Reports by wardens indicate that both in the business area of the city and in residential areas many occupiers were not making any satisfactory effort to comply with the requirements of the blackout regulations,” said the statement. “The disconnection of lighting installations at business. premises would in many cases result in the innocent suffering with the guilty. Therefore, it has been decided that in these cases the offender should be prosecuted. In residential premises the objection to disconnection does not hold, and therefore it has been decided that a lighting installation should be disconnected for one week in the first instance and for one month for a second offence.”
