BREAD FOR SOLDIERS.
THE FEATHERSTON BAKERY. ! A.v Army Service Corps bakery has been completed at Featherston at a cost of £85U, or £50 less than tho original estimate. Colonel Hiley, Director of Railways and Works, reporting on this enterprise to the Minister, writes :—■" I may mention that tho bakery is constructed on entirelv original designs, so far as New Zealand is concerned, by a modification of the army pattern to suit the special requirements at Featherston. No difficulty has been experienced in baking for between 8000 and 9000 men at tho bakery since its completion. I may say that there has been a saving by the use of this bakery of £228 a month over the contracts, equal to an annual saving of £2736."
