APPEAL TO INDUSTRY TO SAVE FUEL
***
,·.
Hong Kong's industrial concerns of which there are more than
22,000 - were urged to-day to appoint a senior member of their staff to
supervise fuel-saving measures.
In a circular to factory managements, the Director of Oil Supplies,
aled Mr. Roy Porter, appealed for their co-operation to avoid any wasteful and
unnecessary consumption of electricity, fuel and other oil products.
He stressed that Hong Kong's oil supply situation was under
daily review and so far stocks remained normal and there has been no
interruption of deliveries.
Į
"But in view of the uncertainty of the oil situation in the
world, it is prudent for us in Hong Kong to take steps now to economise
so that we make the best use of our stocks and our future supplies," he added.
Mr. Porter said there were many simple and easy measures which
industrial concerns could take to save fuel without seriously affecting
production, convenience or comfort.
་
He suggested the following ways to save electricity:
*
Switch on lights only when necessary
Keep lighting to the minimum essential for production
and safety
Switch off lights during lunch or tea breaks and as
soon as possible after work
* Lower lamps from ceilings to increase intensity of
illumination at the same time replacing bulbs with
others of a lower wattage
*
Switch
