FERTILISER WORKS
HAWKE'S BAY'S CLAIM
The establishment of a fertiliser factory at Napier was the subject 6t an urgent question asked in the House of Representatives yesterday afternoon by Mr. H. M. Christie (Government, Waipawa) in conjunction with the Hon. W. E. Barnard (Napier) and Mr. E. L. Cullen (Government, Hawke's Bay), who emphasised the importance of an adequate supply of fertilisers to the1 farmers of Hawke's Bay.
In reply the Minister of Industries and Commerce (the Hon. D. G. Sullivan) said that several applications had been received for licences to establish new phosphatic fertiliser works, including a proposal to erect a works in Hawke's Bay. The granting of the licence was p. matter for the Bureau of Industry, said the Minister, and a special committee of the bureau had visited Napier, Hastings, and Whangarei in connection with the matter. The erection of works in any one district was not merely a matter of local enterprise, but was one affecting the whole Dominion, and it was necessary to consider the matter from that aspect rather than from a purely local point of view. "I recognise the importance of the question to the farmers of Hawke's Bay," added Mr. Sullivan, "and I hope that it will be possible for a decision to be made at an early date."
