ONEKAKA PLANT
POSSIBLE USE FOB PIG IRON MANUFACTURE [Pee United Press Association.] CHRISTCHURCH, August 9. The Government is now investigating the possibility of use of the old production plant at the site of the Onekaka iron deposits for the manufacture of pig iron. This was stated by the Minister of Supply (Mr Sullivan) in an interview. The Minister indicated that it might be in the interests of the war effort to spend a certain amount of money on the project. “ The possibility of utilising the old Onekaka plant for the manufacture of pig iron is now under investigation,” the Minister said. “ While it is unlikely that the old plant could be worked economically, it may be in the nation’s interest to incur certain expenditure to bring.it into production as a temporary war measure.”
