Power House
From Our Own Correspondent.
Pt. Moresby, Dec. 9.
THE work of installing the new en gine in the Local Government Power House is still proceeding and is nearing completion.
Mr. W. Chisholm, engineer for the Ruston Hornsby Company, is erecting the 150-165 horse power Ruston Hornsby engine, and it is being tested and inspected by Mr. Cuthbertson, the Government’s consulting engineer, who arrived by the last boat, before it is taken over from the contractors.
It is expected the engine will be in running order within the next few weeks and will make a great diflerence to the electric supply of Port Moresby, which has been overtaxed for some time.
