Brickworks at Mauriceville.

Some months ago it was announced in this paper that a well known brickmaker of the West Coast— Mr. Neighbours—had visited Mauriceville and discovered huge deposits of some of the finest brickmaking clay in the Dominion. As a result of that visit, the firm of Neighbours and Williams has decided to establish brick and pottery works at Mauriceville. The machinery and plant have been procured, and the erection of kilns will be commenced immediately. It is anticipated that within the next two months bricks, salt glazed ware, and fancy pottery will be on the market. The firm intends catering for the Wellington and Wairarapa trade, and will employ quite a number of hands.
