SUPPLY OF RAILWAY TRUCKS
♦ CONSTRUCTION SUSPENDED DURING WAR Because of the war, no more railway trucks will be built in New Zealand* and those now on hand will have to last for the duration. This was stated by the Acting-District Traffic Manager, Mr R. Gallagher, when speaking at a conference held in the city yesterday. His statement was made when the conference was considering the demand on trucks for the cartage of the grain harvest. „ “No more trucks will be built here” Mr Gallagher said. “Work on them has been suspended and there will be no additional trucks available until after the war. The material for them Is not available and the workshops are engaged on other important tasks. It can be taken for granted that no more railway trucks will be available lor some considerable time.”
