LOCAL INDUSTRIES.
To the Editor. Sir, —Now, as we are disappointed in having our railway to Akaroa, and as one of the reasons advanced by tho Railway Commission was tho want of population of the district, it behoves us as a community to take every opportunity to encourage local industry. Why is it that Akaroa remains behind other places in this respect ? Akaroa has many advantages that other places do not possess. Cannot something be done with our fruit grown in Akaroa ? Look at tha quantity exported from here last season, at a price that hardly pays for labor. Why cannot ** a company be formed to encourage the manufacture of jam, and add to this the manufacture of pickles? Our orchards could produce tho fruit, and our gardens the vegetables. Are there none enter- ■ prising enough to encourage a hydropathio establishment, which would induco many to visit us for their health. ' I just venture to throw out these few suggestions, hoping that the matter may be taken up by parties more interested, who will carry it to a successful issue;—l *" am, etc., PROGRESS.
