NATIONAL PARK HOSTEL
USE OF AMERICAN TIMBER By Telegraph.—Press Association. Marton, November 27. Writing to the “Rangitikei Advocate” regarding the erection of the hostel at National Park, Mr. J. A. Bush, chairman of the Main Trunk Timber Trade Protection Guild, states that it has come to his knowledge that considerable quantities of American timber are to be used in place of New Zealand timbers. Oregon flooring has arrived on the job, and other lots of foreign timber are to be used. Mr. Bush states that the use of this timber for such a purpose is an outrage and an insult to sawmillers. Many hundreds of sawmill workers are working along the Main Trunk line, many of them in the Immediate vicinity of National Park, where stocks of fully-seasoned New Zealand timber are available. He asks members of the National ParkBoard to state their reasons, for authorising the use of foreign timber in what is to be a national playground of New Zealand.
