BUILDING DELAYED
NEW FERRY STEAMER COL. FALLA’S STATEMENT (Pm- Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. Colonel N. S. Falla, chairman of directors and managing director of the Union Steam Ship Company, is on a brief visit to Wellington concerning shipping and Tasman Empire Airways affairs before he assumes his military duties as the overseas base commandant of the Second New Zealand Expeditionary Force. Among the matters engaging his attention on a visit to England last year, he said, was the building of a new passenger vessel for the Welling-ton-Lyttelton service of similar dimensions and speed of the Rangatira, but the project had had to be postponed owing to the war until it was again practicable to build when the work would be put in hand.
