With industrial plants still closed because of 'a natural gas shortage, it was not expected there would be any need for reduced consumption to= day. Tomorrow, however, with the return of a normal gas supply, the new problem must be met. Hydro officials at Brantford, said they expected at any fime an order | to reduce kilowatt hour consump- | tion by 15 per cent. The only way it could be effected would be by cutting off power in various sec- tions of the city for short periods, A. W.
