PAPER MILLS
OPENED AT WHAKATANE. (By Telegranh—Press Association.) ROTORUA, March 29. The culminating point in many months of construction and careful planning was reached today when the pressing of a button by Mr Hultquist, M.P., set in motion the Whakatane Paper Mills’ new pulping mill in Whakatane. When in full operation the plant will employ 130 men with a wage bill of more than £BOO a week. The mill is designed mainly to produce cardboard products. The main production unit is more than 100 yards long and is of Swedish manufacture. The steam-driven power plant generates sufficient power to supply the needs of the whole of . the Bay of Plenty. It drives two giant dynamos of British manufacture and these will supply the power for the extensive undertaking. The plant has been installed by Swedish and British experts and a number of most highly specialised processes are being directed by Canadian operatives skilled in this class of work.
