’PLANE FOR MINISTER
PUBLIC WORKS INSPECTIONS USE BY TECHNICAL OFFICERS ALSO [ Per Press Association. ] WELLINGTON, Dec. 25. A survey aeroplane is to be acquired by the Government for use by technical officers of the Public Works Department and on occasions when time is an important factor, in inspections by the Minister of Public Works, Hon. R. Semple. It is proposed to purchase a twoseater machine with a large capacity for carrying luggage and surveying instruments. The craft will be of a type suited to all-weather conditions and of airworthiness giving the best possible efficiency in flying low over all kinds of country and landing and taking off from emergency grounds and smaller aerodromes. The machine will be housed at Rongotai Aerodrome, Wellington, and will be available for the Minister to make quick inspectional visits to public works, and for departmental engineers and surveyors who are called upon to survey areas and routes on which developmental works may be projected.
