FORESTRY COMMISSION.
NO INTEREST TO MILLERS.
! [BY TELEGRAPH. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] I Wellington., Monday. j Sawmllers at Taihape,' according to re- ' cent advice, are protesting vigorously against the non-inclusion of representatives ' of their industry in tha personnel of the Forestry Commission, and are desirous of. securing the appointment in that capacity i of two men possessing a. practical knowledge of timber-milling. j The Prime Minister (the Hon. W. F. Massey) stated when he was questioned on the subject last evening, that he did riot intend to accede to the request of the fiawmillers. " his " he remarked, "is a forestry coma ission. We had a timber commission a year or two ago which took all the evidence available. The evidence and the repott of the commisiuon were printed and ; are available." The Forestry Commission, Mr. Massey j added, was not concerned to any great extent with the timber-milling industry. The only class in the order of reference which concerned the sawmilling industry was that relating to the statistics in connection with the export of white pine. This did not constitute in itself a sufficient reason for giving sawmillei's representatives in the Forestry Commission.
