COAL IMPORTATION.
NECESSARY BUT UNSOUND.
By Telegraph.—Press Association. Westport, May 11. A meeting of the Buller Progress League last night resolved: “That this league views with alarm the heavy increase in coal importations from abroad. While under the circumstances these importations have been necessary to maintain the industrial life of this Dominion, yet we are of opinion that the policy is unsound, and would therefore urgently recommend that it be superseded by vigorous development of our coal resources. With this end in view we therefore respectfully urge upon the Government the necessity of proceeding with the Buller Gorge railway forthwith.”
It. was mentioned that at least £2,000,000 had been sent unnecessarily out of the country for coal that could have been produced in New Zealand.
