BRITAIN’S ELECTRICITY.
United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright. RUGBY, August 14. The Central Electricity Board has announced the adoption of the South Scotland electricity scheme prepared by the electricity commissioners. This is one of the area schemes under the 1926 Act to provide by a grid system a cheap electricity supply to towns and villages all over Great Britain, at a total estimated cost of £29,000,000. Only the North of Scotland remains to be surveyed. Electricity supplies will be derived from the great water power resources in Galloway, and will be chiefly utilised in the neighbouring areas of central Scotland and northwest England, for which schemes have been already approved.
