POWER BOARD NOTICES WAITEMATA - POWER BOARD. B r GEXT QOXSUMERS T The Waitemata Board has been oflieially notified by the Public Works Department that the Arapuni Electrical Works have been shut down for an indefinite period. Also, that the present demand for Power cannot fully be supplied at certain definite hours. This means in effect that unless all Consumers wholeheartedly co-operate to reduce their demand during - these hours, they will be switched off the Government system until they do. Over the whole area the critical hours are between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m. The following effective methods of reducing demand must be given effect to immediately:— The number of Rights in use simultaneously must be the absolute minimum. Cut out all continuously running Lights such as passage, hall, and verandah lights. Xo Radiators during the critical hours. Cook midday where possible during winter months. Use a Standard Lamp to read by, or other similar extension. Reduce candle-power wherever possible. Look upon the Power Board as your own personal property, a machine that is your own. It is now overloaded, therefore what more natural than to reduce the demand upon it. It is hoped that, by adopting the means suggested above, other and more drastic means to give effect to the Department’s ultimatum will be avoided. The present demand on Arapuni during the peak hours amounts to approximately 2,300 k.w., while the total allocation now allowed from Horahora and other sources is I,SBO k.w. The curtailment now asked of you is universal over the whole area, and is arbitrary. Government restrictions come into force TODAY tWednesday), June 11. G. TREVITHICK, Chairman.

IN BANKRUPTCY TAKE notice that I intend to apply to the Supreme Court at Auckland on FRIDAY, the 27th day of June, 1930, at ten o’clock in the forenoon, or as soon thereafter as application may be heard, for an Order of Discharge. EDWIN BRINSDEN. Dated at Auckland this 11th day of June, 1930.
