Faster Turn-round Of Ships Wanted
WELLIX GTON, March 16. "A faster turn-round of shipping'iii New Zealand would be one of the best moves you could mahe in aidixig Britain," said Mr. H. W. S. Whitehouse, c-hairman of directors of the New Zealand S'hipping Company, who with Mrs. Whitehouse and Captain H. Dawson, rnarine superintendent of the line, arrived in the Rangitihi. Judging by the average ' diseharging and loading times of cargo in Erigland, eontinued Mr. Wh.itaii.ouse, abont 20 days could be savedTon eaeh trip to the Dominion. Just before Christmas in England 2100 tons of butter were unloaded in one dav from the Rakaia. This was well above the average performanee, but he doubted whether at the moment in New Zealand rnore than 300 tons of cargo were handled daily from visiting ships.
