Indian Tariff Board Written Evidence recorded during enquiry regarding the Woollen Textile Industry

President.—I shall therefore confine my examination this morning to the remaining questions of the questionnaire leaving the financial aspects of the matter for the time being. [...] Rather than run a very small section of the plant in the Woollen Mill at Thana it was decided to transfer a sufficient number of spindles to cope with this demand while working full time to an available block at the David Mill which was rented by the Raymond Woollen Mill. [...] Pragent.—Onee in the hot weather and once at the end of the year? [...] It does influence the position to a certain extent but owing to lack of organisation of the local wool market I should say that it is not felt to the fullest extent and therefore if the agriculturist is hard pu it for funds he would be inclined to accept a lower price than is waded by ordinary market fluctuations. [...] Would it be possible to take out the figures of cleaning warping and weaving at present combined in the worsted and woollen departments that is to say would it he possible to separate them between the woollen and worsted departments?
