When the subject of establishing a cool store at Port Ahuriri was under brief discussion at a recent meeting of the Napier Harbour Board,, Mr. E. Jones, a fruit farmer member of the board, made some interesting observations on the growth of that industry in Hawke’s Bay (relates the “Telegraph”). He was particularly interested in the project of the establishment of a cool store at the port, because fruit could then be exported directly, as he thought it should be, instead of having to be railed to Wellington. “The past season,” he remarked, “has been a great one from the point of view of the quantity of apples exported from Hawke’s Bay, as over 200,000 eases were sent Home. You can see that the evidence given before the i commission last year that in three years the annual export of apples from Hawke’s Bay would be 250,000 cases was conservative, for we have nearly touched that level already. In a short time the annual export from Hawke’s Bay, in my opinion, will be 500,000 cases. When that comes it will be impossible for the railway deal with the traffic, and the fruit will have to be exported through Napier.” Usually a perusal of a visitors’ book provides some interesting and amusing reading, and that at the Orepuki shale works proves no exception to the rule (says the “Southland Times”). When it is customary to read the various visitors’ impressions of the works, it is amusing Io find a candid opinion of the caretaker in preference to a short comment upon the works themselves. Consequently the cryptic comment, “Carelaker \ciy nice man,” causes one instinctively to read the accompanying name to discover the sex.
