Levin Borough Council Gas Works- Cinema Advertising Slide

Description

Formed in 1906, the Levin Borough Council administered local government in the town until it's 1989 merger with Foxton and the surrounding area to form the Horowhenua District Council. But, that wasn't the only change.

Until 1989 many Councils, including Levin, managed the supply of gas in their areas. Which is why the local Borough Council paid for this cinema slide to share the virtues of gas heating!  They even had a 'Gas Committee" in the 1980s!

Many of the former Council's gas documents can be found here https://archivescentral.org.nz/agents/corporate-body/levin-borough-council
