Appeal To Suva To Save Electricity

From Our Own Correspondent SUVA. July 25.

THE Fiji Government having jibbed at the idea of restricting the sale of electrical appliances in Suva shops, the Suva Town Board has issued an appeal to the public to reduce the con sumption of electricity to a minimum.

Rationing is threatened if the appeal goes unheeded.

Judging by the lack of response to a previous appeal to conserve power, cuts of some sort are probably on the way.

The Fijian cricket tour of New Zealand this year resulted in a net profit of £7lO in New Zealand currency (about £639 Fijian) to the Fiji Cricket Association.
