OIL TANKS AT MIRAMAR.
ENGLISH COMPANY OPERATING. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Sept. 18. An English oil company operating in New Zealand has secured an area of 25 acres at Miramar on which it has erected a plant, including tanks for kerosene and motor spirit, also canning works and tin and box-making factories. The expenditure will amount to £250,060, necessitating additional wharf accommodation, so that the total capital expenditure will probably reach £320,000. The whole of the firm’s New Zealand business will be handled from Wellington. The oil will be brought in large tank steamers, pumped into the reservoirs at Miramar and then cased and boxed for distribution. About 400 hands will be employed when the business has been established to its full capacity.
