PAPER MILL
WHAKATANE PROJECT.
(Per United Press Association.) Whakatane, July 19. A definite commencement was made with the work of establishment of paper mills at Whakatane yesterday when 2500 sleepers, the first shipment of the 18,000 required, were landed at the mill site wharf. The contractors for the construction of the company’s railway to link the bush with the mill are commencing work to-day. The line and the preparation of the mill site involves an expenditure of £30,000. It is expected that tenders for the erection of the mill and the equipment will be let early next year. The whole project is estimated to cost £500,000. The mill will have an output of 30,000 tons per annum. The directors anticipate that the mill will be completed and working by the end of 1936.
