STORAGE PENALTY CLAUSE.
CTTY FIRM'S PROTEST. Protesting againsct being penalised for having permitted goods to remain in the harbour sheds, Messrs. Croickshank, Miller and Co., Ltd., wrote to the Harbour Board this afternoon that they did not permit the goods to remain, the fact being that they bad received no advices from the manufacturers in England neither had the invoices come to hand, so that they were unaware the goods were there at all.
"We regret to note," said the letter, "that some of the employees of the board appear to think that the importers have no rights in the matter, and that the customers of the board must really be regarded as the board's enemies. This is of course most improper and absurd." In reply the secretary had written explaining cc to the penal clause for storage, and pointing out the firm's position was not different from that of other importers.
