The objects of the Association are for the purpose of organising and carefully conducting a series of experiments for discovering the best method of producing a fibre from the Phormium Tenax fitted for all purposes of manufacture. The importance of the subject is manifest from the fact that the Phormium Tenax is indigenous to New Zealand, it already exists in large quantities scattered over the country, and is capable of easy cultivation. The Committee consider it unnecessary to enter upon the many strong reasons why this subject should attract the attention of every colonist of New Zealand, and would confine themselves simply to pointing out that the discovery of a successful method of preparing the fibre would encourage an industry of great value and importance to every member of the community; fcey, therefore, appeal with the utmost confidence to all classes to assist the movement with a ready liberality. 4454 IN THE SUPREME COCRT OF NEW ZEALAND, CANTERBURY DISTRICT.
