Bandsaws for Timber Mill.—Commenting on the recent closing of the National Timber Company’s mill at Ngongotaha through the company’s inability to obtain bandsaws, the Commissioner of State Forests (the Hon. C. F. Skinner) said that an erroneous impression had been created by the statement that an import licence for bandsaws had been held up. “The application, which was lodged with a firm of importers, was not‘received by either the Ministry of Supply or the Customs Department, the proper authorities to which it should have been referred,” said Mr Skinner. “It is the Government’s aim to maintain production of timber at the highest possible level, and when the application was received through the correct channel it immediately approved.” Replacements were not available in New Zealand, and new saws had now been ordered from overseas by the company and were expected to arrive in June, the Minister said.—(P.A.)
