TIMBER FOR EXPORT
MAINTENANCE OF QUALITY.
MEASURE BEFORE PARLIAMENT.
(By Telegraph—Special Reporter.) Wellington, Last Night,
Maintenance of a high standard in timber exports from the Dominion is the object of the Products Export Amendment Bill, notice jjf which was given by the Minister of Lands (Sir Alfred Ransom) in the House of Representatives this afternoon. ■ Sir Alfred explained that the purpose of the Bill was to provide for the adequate control of the timber export industry in view of the increase in exports from New Zealand. Southland beech was becoming very popular England for motor body building, and the export of rimu and other timbers to Australia was growing each year. lt» was essential that if this trade were to be maintained and further developed there should be no falling off in the quality of the exports, and it was for this reason that the Bill was being brought forward.
