Saving of £25,000 a Year. By operating its own workshop at Telmika, where all mechanical equipment used on llic big undertakings in Canterbury is repaired, the Public Works Department is making a saving of £25,000 annually over the cost of the parts which would otherwise have to be imported. This was stated on Wednesday by the Minister of Public Works (Mr. R. Semple). Ninety men are employed there, and only four wero skilled fitters when the workshops were opened two years ago. Apart from the saving in actual money, an unassessable amount is saved by the workshops in enabling repairs to be made without delay, giving continuity of service of all ma- | chines. All except the finest precision spare parts arc being made, the Minister said. “I iuvjic any critic—politician, mechanical engineer, or Nosey Parker—to visit the workshop anl see what is being done,” Mr. Semple said.
