“The developement of water power in India is only in its infancy, and there should be some good openings for New Zealand engineers who have had experience of hydraulic work,” said Mr. E. N. Weljb to a reporter. Mr. Webb has returned to Christchurch after three and a half years’ in India, during which he established and conducted a branch for a firm of hydraulic engineers in New Zealand and Australia. It would, however, be very umvise,” continued Mr. Webb, “for a New Zealand engineer to go to India without some guarantee of a contract or employment of some sort, as the European population is very conservative and it requires a considerable amount of spade work to gain the confidence of the commercial community."
