TRANSPORT OF WOOL
AERIAL SERVICE CONTEMPLATED. AUSTRALIAN ENTERPRISE. (Rec. 10.5 p.m.) Melbourne, December 21. The transport of wool by aeroplane is now contemplated by Aerial Service Limited who propose using an all-metal aeroplane capable of lifting eight or ten bales a trip. An estimate of the cost is being prepared for a northern station owner, whose wool is at present transported by camel teams which occupy weeks getting it to the railhead, whereas the aeroplanes would cover the journey in a day. The cost would be about the same, namely, £3O a ton. —Australian Press Association.
