THE FLAX INDUSTRY.
« Bonus of £2000. [Special to the " Star."! WELLINGTON, Oct. 5. Mr J. G. Wilson, who has been taking considerable interest in the flax industry during the session, says that the bonus of J6200G 'provided on the Supplementary Estimates for its encouragement will not be sufficient. The Manufactures and Industries Committee recommended that .£4OOO be given for improved machinery. Mr Buchanan thinks that money could not possibly be spent to better effect, and urges that the vote should be increased. The Minister for Lands explains that Government thinks it will get all that is required for .£2OOO, but that if this is not sufficient it will be supplemented.
