OVERSEAS TENDER
MUSEUM SHOW-CASES REASONS FOR ACCEPTANCES (THE SUN’S Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, Thursday. The reason for giving the contract for show cases at the Auckland Museum to an overseas firm was explained in the House of Representatives by the Hon. J. A. Young, who acted for the Minister of Industries and Commerce, the Hon. A. D. McLeod. “As a result of the department’s inquiries,” he said, “it is found that only .one New Zealand tender was received by the Auckland Museum Committee. This was from a gentleman who had ho plant for the manufacture of the class of case required, and who was not able to give full particulars of the cases which he had undertaken to supply. “It was this tenderer’s intention, if he succeeded in securing the contract, to erect a factory and set up the necessary plant. The drawings and small sample supplied by him were of such a standard that the committee could not do otherwise than accept the overseas tender, which was supported by the fullest possible information and by samples of very high-grade casework specially designed to meet museum requirements.”
