SALE OF WASTE MATERIAL
Sir, —In respect to statements made by the chairman of the Canterbury Reclamation Board in your issue of August 7, would you kindly supply information as to the exact powers and functions of this body, which I understand was appointed by the Government mainly to collect metals urgently required for the manufacture of war material and disposing of such metals for that purpose.—Yours, etc.. T. M. LUCY. Temuka, August 10, 1942. [Mr John Stewart, chairman of the Canterbury Reclamation Board, said yesterday that the Order-in-Council giving authority to the National Council for Reclamation of Waste states: “The general function of the National Council shall be the collection and sale of waste materials.” Mr Stewart added, “The writer of the letter is quite right, however when he says that the principal activity of the board is the collection of metals and other materials for reclamation.”] »
