POWER POLE CASE
LIABILITY FOR REMOVALS The question of liability in the removal of power poles is expected to be settled in a Supreme Court case in Invercargill shortly. Mr. A. Alain, secretary-treasurer to the Waitemata Electric-Power Board informed the board this morning that the action was understood to be in view. The Southland Electric-Power Board apparently was seeking to have the liability defined in a question similar to the difference between the Power Board and the Waitemata County Council over the cost of removing poles, in county work, in the Titirangi main highway. A letter from the Hawke’s Bay Electric-Power Board said that were CQunties responsible for the cost of alterations, requests for removals would be less frequent.
