t COMPLETION OF THE ENIiAKGE i MENT. g On Saturday afternoon Messrs Falliser and i- Jonas, the contraptoiß for tho enlargement of it the South Canterbury Befrigating Conj i. panys works, put a few finishing touobes :■ on their work, and Mr Coxon, of Coxon and !• Greenttroet, tho rofrigorsting engineers and

architect* for this wort, went ovor the build ing to make a final inspection on behalf of the company, before taking it over from the builders. The now premises and plant were not only read; for work but work bad actually been commenced m them. The general aspect of tho works, with their broad spread of white walls and zinc-blue roofs, flanked by several neat cottages a few chains away, as seen from a little dis tance and a favourable point of view in dicates the existence here of an important industry, 'Ihe arrangement of the buildings on a hill side, with some of them on a higher level than others, tends to give a truer impression of their extent than if they were all on one level. A closer view, still more a perambulation of the promises, confirms the distant impression that the South Canter bury Refrigerating Works are an important factor m the wealth-producing powers oE the district. The new buildings have been so disposed as to assist each other ; they may be workod separately or m complete or partial combina tions, and together the promisee and the plant have about throe and a half times tho capacity for converting live sheop into frozen mutton that the original works had. The new buildings are m four separate portions. First is a slaughter house 94ft by 32ft, with offal dressing room at one end 32ft by Z7fb. In line with these is a cooling room, 70ft by 4ift. This range of buildings stands at a higher level than the rest, and the pro minence thus given them, and their length of nearly 200 ft, help materially to give the appearance of bulk and commodiousneas the works now posaesß.
