PLANT AT ARAPUNI
TWO TENDERS RECEIVED. GENERATORS AND TURBINES. WORKING AT FULL PRESSURE. (By Telegraph.—Pr**ss Association.) WELLINGTON. Friday. Tenders for two additional generators and turbines for Arapuni have been received by the Public Works department, and will probably lie considered by the Cabinet after the Christmas vacation.
Arapuni was planned for eight generators, but only four were put into commission. For some time tin* station has been working at full pressure, and it has been derided to increase the power SO per rent.
The power-house is being extended to receive the additional plant, the building being enlarged to accommodate the full eight sets, which will probably all be needed within a few years.
