CLEARANCE OF GOODS.
A DUNEDIN COMPLAINT. [THE PBESS Special Service.] DUNEDIN, July 2. The Customs Department still refuses to clear the goods for Dunedin which arrived at Auckland on Monday night by the Argyllshire. In reply to a telegram from the Otago Importers and Shippers' Association, protesting against the refusal of the Department to give a clearance, the Prime Minister to-day telegraphed as follows to the Association: —'' Regret that your re- - quest cannot be granted- Writing. Although Mr Forbes intimated that he was writing, Mr Walter Gow (secretary of the Importers' Association) again communicated with the Prime Minister. At the earliest the full Teply will arrive in Dunedin to-morrow night, and the Association is taking steps to rectify the injustice to Otago importers. Mr Gow has dispatched the following telegram to the Prime Minister: — "Your reply received. We consider the decision very unfair. Certainly all consignees by any vessel arriving in the Dominion should be put on the same f doting."
