CEMENT PRODUCTION IN" CANTON.
NEW FACTORY TO BE OPENED.
Since the resumption of work at the local cement Factory, says the Canton Gazette, imports of this- material from Hong Kong and Kwangchow Bay have become less used in and less. As the machinery the factory is of rather antiquated type, the volume of production is not very satisfactory and at present only 3,000 kegs are produced daily. This quantity falls far short of the local demand. The Reconstruction Department has decided to replace the present machines with new anos, and to open another factory in Yingtak district, where suitable materials for making cement abound. To defray the expense, the Government will be requested to provide about $1,500,000. A scheme in this connection is under prepara tion pending approval of the Pro- vincial Government.
