“The prospects for the engineering trade are certainly a little brighter than they have been for some time past, but it would be conveying quite an erroneous impression to say that there were signs of a mild boom,” stated the manager of a big Dunedin engineering firm when questioned concerning the present condition of business. He added that the new Post Office job would provide work for two years for some lucky foundry, and that, in a general sense, the subsidising scheme would be of help to the trade. Any rumours of a boom might have had their origin in the demand there had been during the last 12 months for goldmining material, such as fluming, but the excitement in this sphere seemed to have died down, and there was nothing really definite to replace It.
