Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Wattle Bark: Report of the Board of Inquiry, Together With a Statement Showing the Profit to Be Derived From the Systematic Cultivation of Wattles
The neglect shown in fostering the growth of young wattles led the tanners to make strong representations on the necessity 'for imposing stringent regulations, and otherwise restricting the opera tions of the strippers. Several of the tanners advocated the impo sitiou of a duty on the exportation of bark, and others went so far in their evidence before the Board as to recommend the framing of regulations -as well as the imposition of a duty. Every witness, however, asserted that their only desire was to ensure the adoption of some measures for the establishment of the bark supply on a permanent footing. In the event of this end being secured, they confidently asserted that a large increase in the tanning trade would follow as a natural result.
