"To the Editor of the "Nontit-Cuuna Dairy News."
Sit, Under the caption "On Re-Making Roads" in the Notes and Comments of your issue of instant, you said "Local -eement works have also found diffealty in getting their raw materials" we, the Shanghai Portland Cement Works, Ld., are the only works operating locally, we wish to correct the wrong impression such a remark, might give rise.
At no time duxing the recent. Chekiang-Kiangsu conflict we found difficulty in getting raw materials for the normal working of our factory at Lunghua, for the fact that, through the foresight of the authorities of the company, a stock' of raw materials sufficient for a 12- month supply was on hand. During the conflict and since then our output of cement had to be increased in order to meet the enormous local demand which can be looked after! bby us at any time without ineonvenience. If, therefore, road-making, and building construction had been held up during the recent trouble other reasons myst be found than the shortage of cement which "we were ready to supply and did supply at pre-war price.
We wu thank you to thoke this correction:
