Additions to Port Moresby’s

Power House

From Our Own Correspondent

Port Moresby, July 7.

THE Public Works Department is enlarging the generating plant of the Port Moresby electric power house. New machinery has been ord ered and it is expected that it will be installed by November.

The new machinery is said to be a crude oil Raston Hornsby engine, 4 cycle, of 150/165 continuous maximum 8.H.P., together with suitable alternator and exciter.

It is over 5 years since electric power was first installed in Port Moresby, and it is inconceivable to most resi dents how they managed to exist with out it, in discomfort and inconvenience.
