LIGHTING TE KUITI.
The following is taken from the King Country Chronicle in referring to the installation of the electric light in Te Kuiti : The electric light for Te Kuiti was made available for the first time on Wednesday evening last when the streets were illuminated and two or three buildings were also served. Since the current was first turned on quite a number of buildings have been connected, and the service may be said to be in working order. LA highly gratifying circumstance # in connection with the service is * the fact that since Wednesday night, the street lamps have been lighted between the hours of 1.30 a.m. and 2.30 a.m., in order to give light to passen1. gers arriving and departing by the night express. The street lighting is not yet completed, arrangements in certain instances having to be made with the Telegraph Department. Consumers are coming on every day and the light will be in general use before long. An excellent example was afforded the public of judging the light at the Town Hall last night. The hall connections were only started on Thursday and were fully completed on Friday evening.
