THE RIGHT OF PURCHASE. [BY TELEGRAPH. —SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.] Wellington, Sunday. Inquiry was made by Mr. Fisher, member for Wellington Central, in the House of Representatives on Saturday morning, as to whether it was proposed to establish an ammunition factory for the South Island. The Prime Minister said it was not proposed to erect an ammunition factory on the Government's own account. It was hoped that another agreement would be completed with the Auckland company shortly. The Government proposed to retain the right of purchase of the existing factory, a condition that was in the last contract. Mr. Fisher then asked whether : Sir Joseph Ward would inquire if the Auckland company could see its way to enter upor. the manufacture of ammunition. The company was now making very superior cartridges. The Prime Minister said that he would be very glad to look into this matter.
