COAL CARBONISATION.
[TO THJB KDITOB.J Si r __l cannot help but make comment on such an important project as the proposed: forming of a company for the specific purpose of carbonising West Go'ast- coal and also that foreign capital has to be enlisted while our valuable brainless Government sits back arid sees its mines closed down, miners thrown on to the already over-burdened unemployed. Would it be an asset to the mining industry to carbonise coal, or would it be a liability? Any greenhorn could answer that. Well, why should there be so much riegligence of the country s wealth? The already suggested tax on crude oil and oil-burning engines would most certainly provide a contribution towards the building of a carbonisation plant which could and would be the property of the people. With the mines on the Coast working only half tiine and the business people doing a freeze, it is a wonder how people can sit down arid allow such a state of The iriining industry is in a deplorable state, heaven only knows. Hoping something will be the outcoriie of the project.—Yours, etc.,
W. PENDLEBURY.
