Government Notices. Published Gratuitously. THE Directors of the"PBKSB" Nkwspapeb Company have the honor to lay before their subscribers and the public generally the following facts : —The Government had been in the habit of inserting public notifications in both the morning newspapers published in Christchuich until 17th April last. Since that date no orders for advertising have been given to the Pbxss newspaper from the Colonial Secretary's office or the Public Works Department in Wellington, whilst such notices have regularly and to a large extent been advertised in the " Lyttelton Times." In consequence of ibis change, the Directors of the Pbbss Company deemed it advisable to make inquiries at headquarters, and one of them visited Wellington for that purpose, and had interviews with the Government on the subject generally. It vu ascertained that it was the intention of the Government that in future such advertisements would be given only to the "Lyttelton Times" and the " Timarn Herald" in Canterbury. It was represented. to the Government that so partial a distribution of Government advertising would not only place the excluded journals at a disadvantage, bat would also be injurious to the public interest, as tending to lessen the publicity given to the advertisements in question. The Government stated that economy in advertising was necessary, and that, other things being equal, it would not be surprising if they gave their advertisements to their own supporters. The Directors of the Pbxss Company, perceiving that the absence of the Government notices in the Pebss will place the subscribers to that journal at a disadvantage, have determined to publish without charge all Government notices appearing in the " Lyttelton Times," but withheld from the Pebss. Their subscribers and the Government will, therefore, obtain a gratuitous advantage so long as the present system continues. In Touting this pecuniary sacrifice, the Directors of the Pbbss Company feel that they will have public sympathy, and that public opinion will justify their present action in resisting any attempt on the part of the Government to use Government advertising as a means of securing political support.
