TEMPORARY WOOL-STORE
With about seven weeks in which to complete the contract, Gisborne Construction Limited, is wasting no time with the initiation of building on the new wool-store in Awapuni road, designed to house the held-over wool clips of the district to the extent of 33,000 bales. In order to conserve building timber, and reduce the call upon local sources, the company will use 14ft. pine props as columns, to carry the roof trusses. These props are coming from Rotorua by rail, and the first consignment is already being delivered to the gaol-yard site Where the wool-store is to be erected. A clearance of cultivated growth on the site was being made to-day, and building timber stocks will be delivered this week. The drain on district supplies of timber will be heavy, for the time being, and merchants expect that it will absorb the greater part of the rough timber available.
