INVERCARGILL.
This day. The Southland Frozen Meat and Produce Export Company's works at the Bluff are now ready for use. The buildings are very extensive, with three large freezing rooms and storage accommodation for 10.000 sheep. One of Haslam's refrigerating machines has been obtained ; it is 75 horse power, and is capable of supplying from 50,000 to 60,000 cubic feet of cold air per hour. The buildings cost £5500, and the machinery from £4000 to £5000. The site of the works is near the wharf, and the water used is drawn through pipes from the sea. The railway siding runs alongside the loading shed connected with (he works, and the sheep can be received and despatched with great expedition. The directors of the company have not yet decided when to begin operations, but probably a start will be made ere long. The works were erected by Messrs Fhilpott and Mathewaon from designs by Mr F. Coxao, Haslam's representative, and all the details bare been admirably carried out.
