FORESTRY WORK
: IAUCKLANIp’S CLAIM. ■ AUCKLAND, July 30. Auckland’s claim to be the centre of Forestry training in New Zealand was discussed at a meeting of the executive of the Auckland Sawmillers’ Association, yesterday and consideration ■was given to a proposal that one of the two forestry schools now in existence at Christchurch and Auckland should be disbanded. One..-speaker declared that Auckland’s demand for timber was greater than that of the southern provinces. Nowhere else were there better facilities for the handling of timber than an Auckland, which, on account of the numerous waterways and tidal rivers, had exceptional advantages for timber transport. Climatically, Auckland also had a great lead over the rest of the [Dominion. Another speaker said that' the Auckland School had done more than Canterbury in research work and general instruction, and sufficient had been done to indicate that the school would develop into a valuable institution if the Government gave it full support, instead of dividing the grant between two schools. The north offered greater prospects for closer settlement and this meant a larger market for timber.
