DEBATE IN PARLIAMENT.
THE STATE SAWMILL. [BY TELEGRAPH.SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.) Wellington, Saturday. When the House went into Committee of Supply on the Estimates Mr. Herriss (Tauranga) drew attention to the enormous expenditure proposed in connection with the Kakahi sawmill, purchased by the Railway Department from the Public Works Department., viz., £5000. Hon. J. A. Millar explained that most of the expenditure was for new plant, which was necessary. Mr. McLaren (Wellington East) referred to the timber trust and a circular sent out to some carpenters who had started in a small way as contractors. He characterised the position as industrial tyranny. Hon. J. A. Millar said Be would look into the question and later on something might be done.
