Regarding e a request thai the facilities at the State mines should; be improved in order to avert a recurrence of unemployment, the Minister of Mines, Hon. G. J. Anderson, said that while it was getting good coal orders the department found a certain prejudice among gas managers and others against New Zealand coal. As soon as the department was satisfied extra bins were required they would be provided. Plans for these being prepared, but last year's profit was too small to warrant a large expenditure. • The department sold coal cheap in order to help the poorer people in the centres, and was not looking lor & large profit. It was now experimenting with slack and he believed that shortly there "would be eo wastage of this fuel' at the State mines.
