THE HEMP INDUSTRY
PUBLIC MEETING CONVENED
The executive of the Elaxmills Employees’ Industrial Union of Workers have convened a public meeting to be held in the Town Hall supper-room on Thursday evening next at 8 o’clock, “for the purpose of discussing the advisability of asking the Government to acquire, the Mon ton Swamp, and have same thoroughly cleaned and .planted in flax, thus providing work for the relief of unemployment that is becoming more acute every winter in Foxton. The executive confidently believe that if a commencement of thoroughly cleaning and planting of (lax in this swamp is not carried out in the very near future, the flax there will eventually go out of existence, which would mean that the business places in Foxton would follow suit.”
