KOWLOON MATTERS.

QUESTION OF ELECTRIC VOLTAGE.

The monthly meeting of the Kowloon Residents' Association was held on Monday, February 7. A somewhat disappointing reply was read from the Government with reference to the extension of the Children's playground

Change of Voltage.

די

A antisfactory reply was read from the General Managers of the China Light and Power Co., Ltd.. stating that when the conversion to the higher voltage had been carried out, the present tariff would be lowered. «

The letter follows: Sir-In reply to your letter of the 13th inst. relative to the in- crcase in supply voltage, prepar tions for which are now being made by this Company, we beg to state that the mutter is one which] has had the most careful con- sideration before being decided on, both from the Consumers' and the Company's point of view, and we wish to point out that the change over to the higher voltage is one which is in accordance with the most modern practice, and is now adopted by the great majority of the Electric Supply Under takings in the United Kingdom, in addition to those of cities in the East and Far East such as Bom- bay, Colombo, Calcutta, Penang, Singapore, Hongkong and Shang- hai.

The conversion will be to the ultimate advantage of both the Consumers and Supply Company, inasmuch as a saving in cost of underground cables owing to the smaller cross-sectional area re- quired for the higher voltage will be effected, and also the number of sub-stationa required for dis- tribution purposes will be con- siderably reduced with a conse- quent large saving in the cost of land and buildings.
