Railway Wagon Springs Not Made in Australia
QUESTION IN HOUSE. Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, Last Night. In the House of Representatives this afternoon, in replying to Mr. F. Langstone (Waimarino), Hon. W. A. Veitch stated that there was no truth in the report that a contract for a thousand wagon springs for the New Zealand Railways had been let to firms in Australia. It had been found necessary to have springs made by outside firms in New Zealand. Tho section of the railways workshops that could have undertaken the making of new springs was occupied with other work, and to prevent delaying the whole task, it had been decided to have springs made by private firms.
