Increase since 1920 For proof, look, first at the growth of the industry in N.Z. According to the 1926 census N.Z. has a population of 1,407,165 including Maoris, an increase of 164,769 since J-Z 1920, or about 13 per cent. , In 1920 the total output of N.Z. lime and cement products was officially valued at £367,874. By the end of March 1925 the value had risen to £965,997, an increase of £598,123, or approximately 163 per cent., as against the 13 per cent increase in population—although the prices have steadily dropped from £7 2s.
