A NEW MUNITIONS FACTORY
BRITISH GOVERNMENT’S ORDER LONDON, January 7, It is announced that the Government, on December 28, placed an order worth £4,000,000 for a new munitions factory at Chorley with Sir Lindsay Parkinson and Company. The work, which will employ between 3000 and 4000 men, will begin in a fortnight, and must be completed within two years, under a penalty clause of £SOOO a week after that time. The job will be known as the A 1 job, and the firm will thus receive priority in the matter of materials. The War Office is planning at least eight explosive or filling factories, all in distressed areas. - Three of them will be in the south-west of Scotland.
