Description

Local historians weekly "Back Issues" article in the Manawatū Standard. From 1941, lighting restrictions were put in place in Palmerston North and elsewhere. Under the Emergency Precautions Scheme, street lights, shops, factories, offices, vehicles and households were affected. The objective was to reduce the glow from populated areas which might be visible from sea and the air by enemy forces. By mid-1943, lighting restrictions for safety reasons were lifted beyond coastal zones. Street lighting restrictions continued for some time, due to electricity shortages and low coal stocks.
