Electricity Department, Supply of Ceiling Fans.—It is noted that owing to delay in the date of shipment from New York of motor-fans belonging to consumers, number of the machines now under conversion to the reduced frequency. will not be delivered at Shanghai in time to ro.
tal them before the hot weather, Under these circumstances the Council decides to divert for the use of those concerned the 200 new ceiling fans due to arrive shortly.
From a telegram of 25th March from the Council's New York Agents it is learnt that 100 of the converted fans may be expected before the Ist of June. The Council will therefore be able to re-instal 300 out of a total of 353 on or before the of June, converted fans being restored to their actual owners and new ones being tributed, where necessary, in the order in which machines wore received last yor for conversion, In regard to the balance of fans undeliverable on the Ist of June, the Council will hereafter make such arrangements as may be necessary after ascertaining from New York further dates of shipment.
It is to be observed that owing to the conditions above stated the Council was precluded from selling by tender any of the fans in stock or under order. The tenders recently submitted for purchase of the Council's entire stock of fittings having been revised in this sense, it was found that no tender amounted to so much as one-half of the book valnw of the fittings. The sale has in consequence been postponed to a later date.
