NEW ZEALAND GOODS.
BUILDINGS FOR GOVERNMENT EXAMPLE AT CHRISTCHURCH. [Br TELEGRAM. —OWN CORRESPONDENT.] WELLINGTON, Tuesday. New Zealand-made articles aro used throughout the new post offico in High Street, Christ church, wherever possible, exceptions being the hardware (doors and locks), tho structural steel and the window glass. Tho Government architect, Mr. J. H. Mair, states that when tenders aro made these are submitted from specifications which rigidly defino tho position of <1 contractor in relation to New Zealand goods. Where the quality of Domin-ion-made goods is satisfactory, even where the price is a little higher, the New Zealand article must be used. It is understood that one contractor who imported goods which he was required to purchase locally has already suffered from his carelessness.
