HYDRO-ELECTRICITY
NO HAREBRAINED SCHEMES. (Special to “Chronicle.”) KAIKOHE, Oct. 19. The Prime Minister was interesting when speaking of hydro-electricity developments this morning. “We have finished Arapuni,” he said, “and, in conjunction with that, have been working at Waikaremoana. You will hear quite la lot of criticism, probably, as to whether these will pay. The contract for the sale of the power of these schemes is made before the schemes are developed. The schemes will pay from the very day we turn the juice on. There are no harebrained schemes. We have had these schemes put before experts from abroad, and not uno of them can knock la hole in them. The idea is to put tho power right through the country, and give the people in the rural districts and the people in the towns equal facilities, so far as that can be done.”
