The’Minister of Mines (Hon W. A. Vcitcli) announced to-day that the output of coal in 1929 in New Zealand exceeded the record total of 1928, being DO,III tons more than in any previous year. This he said was attributed by several causes, notably the greater use by the railways of New Zealand coal, ami the use of Now Zealand coal for gas making. He hoped that when the
