Search for Oil
Prospects of the 'search for oil in New Zealand proving successful were described as “reasonably bright” by the Minister of Mines, the Hon. P. C. Webb, when in Hamilton last weekend. Tile Minister recently completed an inspection of oil-prospecting work in the Manawatu and Taranaki districts, and said .that, while it was too early to indicate whether actual drilling for oil would take place in the district between Palmerston North and Wanganui, prospects were at least very encouraging.
