PAPER PULP
AUSTRALIAN SUCCESSES NEW INDUSTRY LAUNCHED (Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.) (By Cable —Press Assn.—Copyright.) SYDNEY, July 21. The Institute of Science and Industry reports that its investigations regarding the production of paper pulp were highly successful. They showed that the use of certain varieties of Australian timbers for commercial production of paper was a promising proposition. The work of the Institute had aimed mainly at the production of soda pulp for high grade papers. More recently, the sulphite method for newsprint had been investigated and had given such promising results that production of newsprint was being undertaken in Tasmania, on a one-ton per day plant, and if the results continued satisfactory, the establishment of the industry on the basis of expenditure of five to six million sterling in the next five or six years, was assured. Very promising results had been obtained from pinus insignis pulp which was found eminently suitable for the manufacture of strong brown paper. Large quantities of this timber are available and the Council is arranging for further tests, which it is believed will lead to commercial exploitation on a large scale.
