THE Waiapu County Council has notified that the leading-lights in Tokomaru Bay (Notice No. 14 of 1912) have been considerably increased in power, as electric light has now been installed.

These lights are in line with one another bearing 291° (N. 84° W. magnetic), and the line produced passes through Marotiri (1,503 ft.).
