N.Z. State Coal.
It was recently stated by the Under-Secre-tary for Mines that the supply of State coal is not sufficient to meet the requirements of the Railway Department, and Westport coal was obtained to supplement the supply. Regarding briquettes, he said the works had not been completed a fortnight ago. The works had not been idle, and as to there being no market for the output, that was a rash statement, as the briquettes had not been placed on the market. The briquettes were not fiiable, and as to their commercial value, that was another matter that had yet to be proved. On the cost Mr. ITamer was diplomatic ; said he, " This remains to be seen."
