STATE SAW MILL NEAR ROTORUA
SITE SELECTED AND PLANS COMPLETED (United Press Association) ROTORUA, May 18. A statement that a site has been selected and plans completed for the erection of a State mill at Whakarewarewa, near Rotorua, has been made by the Minister in Charge of State Forests (the Hon. F. Langstone) who stated that the mill would be used for general forest utilization purposes and would manufacture fruit boxes, crates and cases in addition to creosoted posts and poles. The capital cost of the mill, for which machinery was now on order, would be about £lOO,OOO. It would be entirely a State undertaking. The forest areas to be used were all State planted and it was, therefore, most suitable that they should be used to supply a State enterprise of this nature.
