MUNITIONS.
A STUPENDOUS UNDERTAKING. Australian & N.Z. Cable Association. LONDON, August 14. The Public Accounts Committee estimates that notwithstanding the rise in wages, a saving of £43,000,000 has been effected in the cost of ammunition during 1917, by the development of a system of ascertaining the exact cost of production. Upwards of £8,000,000 was spent at the Gretna factory, our largest projectile and shell-filling establishment.
It is estimated that in another twelve months Gretna will pay for the whole expense as compared with the prices formerly paid to American producers.
