ARAPUNI
828 ERNEST RUTHERFORD IMPRESSED. ONE OF WORLD’S BIGGEST POWER STATIONS. TRIBUTE TO GOVERNMENT’S PROGRESSIVENESS. [Per Press Association.] WELLINGTON. Oct. 26. Speaking to a reporter, Sir Ernest lutherford, the distinguished scientist laid:
“I had an opportunity to visit the proposed power installation at Arapuni, and saw it at a most interesting stage of its development. I have seen some of the big power stations in Canada and the United States, and it is clear that this station at Arapuni, when completed, will rank in importance with some of the biggest power stations in the world. It is a sign of the progress of the Dominion that such large works can be undertaken, even before it is possible to use the full supply of power from the station. No doubt this power scheme will ultimately prove of great value to New Zealand, and, as I have said, it is interesting to see that your Government is so progressive in providing electric power both for cities and for farming.
