PAPER-MAKING.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW ZEALAND MAIL. Sin, —In a recent issue of your paper you published a paragraph to the eftect that a syndicate was looking out for a suitable and convenient place in which to establish a papermill. Will you allow me to state that few places offer such facilities for such an industry as Temuka does. It is the best agricultural district in New Zealand, and more straw than could bo used in paper-making could be got for next to nothing. In most places the farmers burn it in order to get rid of it. There is here also a European flax factory manufacturing twine and rope, and the refuse of such an industry would be magnificent for making paper. In 1879 efforts were put forth by cervam Dunedin gentlemen to establish a papermill such as the Sydney syndicate proposes, and they selected Temuka above all other places. By publishing this you will oblige me. It may be of . use to the gentleman who has the selecting of the site of the proposed industry in hand.—l am, &c., j Twomey. Temuka, J uly 20.
