Langstone, Minister of Lands and Forestry, gave I good news to the people 01’ \V‘iiangarei. that an area or the Tangihua State Forest for which tenders had been railed for milling purposes, had been withdrawn from sale. lle mentioned that one sawmill “as operating in an "area confined in a valley. embracing part of the foothills."
