Encouraging Local Industries.
[per ttiute'd press association. j ' Dunedin, This Day. In reply to. a memorial by local manu«. facturers asking that all Government work possible to be done in the colony should be contracted for in the colony,, the Premier has replied > saying:— " I entirely agree with you hh&t nothing should be imported by the Government which can be supplied by the local manufacturer, quality and prices being equal. Indeed I am prepared to go further, and to say that the local manufacturer should have the preference, even at a moderate excess of cost, provided that the excess is not more than, say, from 3 to 4 per cent."
