ITeb Press Association.] GISBORNE, May 2. Mr Stewart, of the firm of Stewart amd Fenn, eleotrical engineers, of Auckland, reporting to the Borough Council -on an eleotrical scheme for Gisborne, estimates that the revenue derived from the s u PF7 of eleotricity would be £66,730. Ine Teringa Falls, about thirty males from town, are eminently suited for the generation of electricity. A. fall of v IOO feet can be obtained by a very short race, and ma expensive headworks would be inquired. The. cost of a complete plant, including a waiter-race, head works, generator, houses, turbine, dynamos, t™™ iorm * x *> o^Zl' lines and metres, would not exceed i6d,uuu. The working expenses would be £5240 per ammum, showing a net profit of £>1648 per i the river was in flood, and he recommends that unless it was proved in the driest ! weather! that there was sufficient water, to enable the proposed plaint to be doubled the scheme should be abandoned.
