From Our Own Correspondent.
Pt. Moresby, March 23.
■"PHE rates for electric current supplied * for domestic purposes are to be reduced from July 1 to 4d. per unit for the first 40 units per month and 2d. per unit in excess of that amount. Formerly the charges were 6d. and 3d, respectively.
This is quite a substantial reduction, and householders should be able to use the many labour saving contrivances that are a blessing to housewives exasperated with inefficient domestic servants.
It is understood that after 12 months’ trial the rates will be further reviewed and another reduction probably will be made.
