..THE SHANNON SCHEME. .. . ilr! D. Buiek (Palrnerstou) asked the ' Minister of Public Works if the Government was satisfied with the capabili- '- ties of the proposed Shannon hydro-elec- . trio power scheme to supply the needs o£ the Wellington-West. Coast district, and the prospects of success; and, if so, .. .would the Minister place a. sum of money on the Estimates to enable the necessary preliminary work to be started . as.soon, as the war is over. i •'. "A considerable amount of prepara- ' tory .work has still to be done before ■ env commencement can be made with the eefienie propounded,by Mr. Parry," said > the Hon. W. Fraser, in reply. "I have ••. just arranged for a second gang of men _ "■ to survey a further line of coimminica- ' . tion as far' as Waiiganui. Everything ; . will be done to enable.work to be start- ' . ed in earnest as soon ns the war is over; : meantime, it would be inexpedient _to ' . place an item on the Estimates which : there is no intention of expending at pie- \ sent." • . .'■•'■ ' ■ i
