Islington works smell to clear up
Islington residents can look forward to a decreased smell from the Islington freezing works. The Waitaki-New Zealand Refrigerating Company. Ltd, plans to spend $280,000 to separate the processes by which it makes lime and pickle liquors, and treat the discharge in such a way that it can be used to irrigate pasture. This improvement would
eliminate the smell, said the company’s superintendent engineer (Mr G. N. Robinson). Work had already begun and would continue for about 18 months. Islington residents would begin to notice a more tempered odour which would improve as the months passed, Mr Robinson said. Complaints had been made about the smell from about the 19405, he said.
