Wellington Deputation Eyes Factory Revival in War Era Plans
Ald. Nelson told Wellington council that private textile firms will visit this week to inspect the vacant factory and assess labor for a possible secondary industry setup. He noted progress and setbacks in Housing Commission programs due to labor and material shortages, with assurances that local materials and labor would support Wellington plans and perhaps start earlier than Cowra or Dubbo. The Deputy Mayor also outlined tar supply arrangements to aid local works and discussed water and dam considerations tied to the Macquarie River. He and other officials met department officers to press for support while awaiting a starver officer for site surveys.
