BUILDING AND INDUSTRY.
oSIGNS OF RECOVERY. INCREASED CITY ACTIVITY. “This year the response to the Unemployment Board’s building subsidy under the No. 10 scheme was much more marked than that of the similar scheme operating last year, and greatly stimulated the building trade which covers so many branches of industry,” says Mr A. J. Graham, the president, in his annual report to the Palmerston North Chamber of Commerce. “That a sum of £156,948 is to be spent in this derection in our city will have the effect not only of providing work for the unemployed, but of improving and enlarging the city itself. A large factory is in course of erection to deal with a branch of the dairy industry, whilst the establishment of a bag factory at Foxton should give a stimulus to the flax industry, a number of mills (closed for several years) having already started operations. During the year the chamber promoted a public meeting in connection with the wood pulp industry, the establishment of which would open up another avenue of industry.”
