TAR PRODUCTS
ENCOURAGEMENT- OF INDUSTRIES ADVOCATED.
Tor products form the subject of a report presented on Wednesday to the House of Representatives by the Industries Committee, which has had under consideration an application for .assistance in the matter of :—
(1) Reduced railway rates on the carriage of propared tar for road-making purposes used exclusively by local bodies. (2) Protection through t'he of tar preparations manufactured in New Zealand. ,\
After careful consideration of the ri<:estion tho committee recommends:~
(a) That tar preparations manufactured in New Zealand shall, when required by local bodies exclusively for road-making purposes, be carried- under classification known as class "N" (that is, at 13s. per lon per 100 miles, in five-ton lots, instead of tho present, rate 20s. 9d,). (b) That the Government be urged to favourably consider the advisability of assisting the tar distilling industry by giving the resultant products a reasonable protection through the Customs. Further, the committee is strongly of opinion that the Government Departments should give a decided prefereneo to goods manufactured in the Dominion from tar and the by-products thereof, 'provided the price and quality are satisfactory.
