SMART ROAD FREEZING WORKS.

PRODUCE SHIPPED BY KIA ORA

One of the largest consignments of frozen produce that has left the Taranaki, Farmers’ Meat Freezing Works at Smart Road was taken by' the liner Kia Ora, which left New Plymouth today. The cargo was as follows:—Two thousand nine hundred and forty-five freight carcases of lamb; 4195 freight carcases mutton; 3764 quarters beef; 304 casks tallow, 10 casks pelts, 1200 cases preserved meats, 444 boxes trip©, 103 boxes ox kidneys, 44 crates sheep kidneys, 64 boxes ox hides, 101 bodies frozen veal. The visit of the liner was opportune, as it was probable that otherwise killing would have had to cease. The expected arrival of the Whakatane in about a fortnight will still further ease the congestion in the storage chambers, space on the vessel having been allotted for about 14,000 freight carcases and probably a quantity of tallow.
