PAPER MILLS MACHINES
HEAVY COST INVOLVED W HAKATAN E IN DUSTRY (Special to the Herald.) AUCKLAND, this day. Reference to the cabled report that he final shipment of machinery will shortly be sent from the Karlstad works, Sweden, for installation in a New Zealand mill was made yesterday by Mr. H.- A. Horrocks, the managing director of Whakatanc Paper Mills, Limited, the firm which has ordered the machinery. Mr. Horrocks said that the shipment should reach Auckland toward the end of next month, and at the same time five Swedish experts would arrive to supervise the installation of the machinery. The whole plant should be in working order early next year.
The amount spent altogether on machinery for the Whakatane mills, Mr. Horrocks continued, was approximately £230,000. Certain electrical equipment and a number of motors had still to be delivered from another Swedish factory, but everything was progressing satisfactorily. A large staff of skilled labour would be engaged in New Zealand for the installation of the machinery, and the experts who were arriving from Sweden would act as supervisors.
