Templin, of the firm of Toogood and Templin, Consulting Engineers, of Chris tchurcfi, who arrived by the Mariposa. “At present New Zealand is tie only country using large quantities of 1 tires where they are not manufactured in the country.” Mr. Templin left New Zealand in June last, and with his wife has motored across America. He said he had called upon the Goodyear company, and found that company had several sites under consideration for the establishment of a factory in the Dominion.
