(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
Inquiries in responsible quarters by the Jewish Telegraphic Agency here regarding the report which appeared in the London papers that a concession to exploit the mineral resources of the Dead Sea is about to be given to the Imperial Chemical Industries, Ltd., of which Sir Alfred Mond is the head, brought a denial of the report.
It was declared that it is likely that Mr. Novomejski and a British engineer will be awarded the concession. Mr. Novomejski, who is a Russian Jew, was the first to apply for a concession to exploit the salts of the Dead Sea.
