COLD STORAGE IN BRITAIN
EXTENSIONS TO BE MADE AT SEVERAL PORTS. (Rec. January 13, 5.5 p.m.) London, January 11. The Treasury has granted £850,000 for cold storage extensions at several ports, including Devonport, Manchester, Liverpool, Cardiff, and Bristol, the aim being to _increase the frozen produce reserves in Britain from six weeks' to twelve weeks' supply. There are only 8000 tons of insulated rolling stock in Britain, out of 50,000 covered railway meat-carrying cars. The authorities propose to immediately insulate 20,000 meat-carrying vans, which will be sufficient for twenty fullsized meat ships.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
