"Prospects for the engineering trade are certainly brighter than they have been for some time past, but it would be conveying quite an erroneous impression to say that there were signs of a mild boom," stated the manager of a big engineering firm in Dunedin. The New Post Office job would provide work for two years for some lucky foundry, and in a general sense the subsidising scheme would be of help to the trade. Any rumours of boom might have had their origin in the demand that there had been during the last twelve months for gold mining material such as fluming, but excitement in this sphere seemed to have died down and there was nothing really definite to replace it.
