TO THE ELECTORS OF THE BOROUGH OF TIMARU. I ADIES AND GENTLEMEN,— (D ! ' I am a Candidate and have the honour of, being nominated for one of the seats on the South Canter- | bury Power Board. .Such being the f position, I may say that, my views jin ~connection with the supply of i electric power for South Canterburv and Timaru requirements are the , same as when I introduced this subject mVier some years ago, chat South Canterbury be declared an electric power district, and the development of Tekapoi Therefore, as I have explained my views in connection with the above from several platforms throughout South Canterbury and Timaru, and to the Minister of Public Works, and through the Press, then I submit, Ladies ancl Gentlemen, there is no need for further explanation from me on this important matter at the present lime. '-■••• (2) If you do me the honour by returning me as one of your representatives on the South Canterbury Power Board, I will in return do all in my power in'conjunction with the other members of the Board, to obtain the needed supply of electric power .for South Canterbury’s and | Timaru’s requirements and also have the possibilities of Tekapo investigated as soon as possible, and the whole position as to costs of power station, equipment, transmission ; lines and reticulation placed before the ratepayers of South Canterbury and Timaru without further delay for their approval or otherwise. • , '.-Yours-'-faith fully, W. ANGLAND. ; POAVER BOARD ELECTION. TO THE ELECTORS OF TIMARU. T AGAIN HAVE THE HONOUR to contest 'a- seat for the Power Board to,;which you elected me at Rs . formation some two and a-half • years ago: * | At that dime my belief was that a sound policy lor an electricity supply for,, the power. area of South Canterbury could only, be based on a hydro])ower .statioh under: our own control and situated in our own district: . I am still of the same opinion. As a manufacturer, I am concerned with the question of an abundant and reliable supply of cheap power. ; At .the present time the progressive ; industries .of Timaru are at great disi advantage owuig: to the overloading j of the Oqlei'idge power station' fore- i ! ing .factory owners here to instal their own power plants at considerable I expense: me cost oi scrapping theser j plants when si satisfactory supply is assured, entails an extra burden of capital cost to the Timaru industrial-' - iSt. 1 If.elected I wiHsupport any movement having for its object the installation of a hydroelectric power ; station in South . Canterbury, and ultimately the complete electrification of the whole power area. Your 3 faithfully, \ J. R. BRUCE. ' POWER BOARD ELECTIONS. IN RECOMMENDING MR ANSTEY • as one of the Timaru Representatives for the Power Board, “Ratepayer” was unfortunate in referring to his- practical knowledge of the situation. The Ratepayers have had two years of Mr Anstey, as one of the representatives on the Power Bpard, and they, put him there on his promise to do all in his power to investigate the possibility of Lake Tekapo as a source of Hydro-Elec-tric energy in the interests of the people of South Canterbury. The Electors , did their part for Mr Anstey. Has lie done'his? HOSPITAL BOARD ELECTIONS. ELECTORS! A'OTE FOR LABOUR’S CANDIDATE MR E. W. JONES.
