Mr R. Nicol, Chairman of the Borough Council’s Electric Supply Committee, states IthaiJ J. J. Niven and Co,, Napier, received (he additional 20 tons of Waihaioi Fork® coal at the! end of last week, and as they said they would go right on with the testa, - they, js-hiould sooin le in a position to state whether generation of electric current by gas-producer fueled with Waihao ■Forks coal is practicable or uo|t. Mr Nicol said that nobody realised more keenly. than he th<- necessity of haste ’» this matter, but i;t| ha 1 taken six w’eeikls to get the 20 tons of coal on biolard, a' steamier going to Napier. In about n month the Borough must have definite word from Napier, so as to kuoiw whether to look Ip Waimate coat to give the town electricity or turn io some other source. He is emphatic on 'hipoint that the. only w’ay in which Waimate coal can be converted into current is per gas producer; by 'the steam method ther e Would /Lie. too much labour and ttanspioiiit, and thei expense w'ould kill any chance of a really, cheap power. Hydroelectricity, . appears out of the question for many years to cOlme. If Niven's fail with Waimate coal,, i; <nay be a question whether a producer pliant should not. be driven with harder coal from the south.

If Niven’s have success with Waimate: coal], it Will not, take tong to put in the plant, because the supply of Qiese things is particularly good at the present time. In 12 or 18 Sutils t hey . could ge t the whole thing running, including the reticulation.
