GIN DISTILLERY IN AUCKLAND
“Plans Definitely Going Ahead”
(New Zealana Press Association) AUCKLAND, Sept. 23.
Plans for a gin distillery in Auckland, and for rectifying plants by the three English companies interested in the £750,000 project, were definitely going ahead, said a spokesman for one of the companies today. All were in agreement, he added, and decisions were being made by a combined committee in London.
The capital required was available and there had been no lag in negotiations, but the next move had to await amendments by Parliament, probably next month, to the Distillery Act to eliminate certain anomalies. After this, discussions on a preferential duty to safeguard the interests of the companies in New Zealand had to be completed.
When a decision had been reached on these matters, work on the distillery for the production of white spirit, and on the three rectifying plants to be provided by each company, could begin immediately. Within a year they should then be marketing New Zealand-made gin.
