Proposed Exhibition.
At a meeting of the Canterbury Industrial Association at Christchurch on Monday evening, Air Climie stated that ho had been asked to bring before the executive the question of the proposed Industrial Exhibition in connection with the Westland Jubilee in 1924. The exhibition would last at least two months.
The Westland people solicited the cooperation of the executive in the Exhibition, which. it was hoped, would not interfere with the ordinary exhibitions promoted by the Industrial Corporation of New Zealand. The West Coast people were preparing very enthusiastically for the exhibition. They were not looking for financial assistance from the executive, hut rather for its moral support. They would welcome some expression of opinion concerning the amount of support the exhibition would receive from the manufacturers of
Canterbury. The Jubilee gathering would serve to popularise the Midland line just after the opening of Mie Otira Tunnel. Cheap motor tours would be arranged to the many places of interest on the Coast, including the Franz Josef Glacier. Cheap railway fares would probably be arranged, and everything possible would be done to display the potentialities of Westland.
Air .Tonkin said that he foresaw a few little difficulties in the way of complete Co-operation by the executive owing to the annual exhibitions that had been arranged in the various centres.
Air AVillis said that the Canterbury people would l>e sure to give tlie Westlaud project hearty support. Tf the Corporation could not take united action, the members could support it individually.
Air Best expressed the opinion that one of the four centres might postpone its turn of the annual exhibition In order that it should be lield in Hokitika. Mr Climio said that it might be arranged to transfer tlie exhibits from the centre where the exhibition was held to Hokitika.
The matter of co-operation with the Westland promoters of the exhibition was referred to the Emergency Committee.
