CHARGES ON FERRY
Method For Animals (N.Z. Press Association) BLENHEIM. Aug. 5. The Railways Department now realised that there would be a considerable demand for one-way transport for one or two animals at a time and officers were investigating the best method of supplying such a service, the member of Parliament for Marlborough (Mr Shand) said today. He was replying to local representations on charges for the cartage of stud stock on the Wellington-Picton ferry service. “It is hard to quarrel with the department’s argument that the same basis of charging should be used for all classes of cargo, although in the light of experience it will obviously be necessary to make adjustments. "The actual charge for a horse box cannot be determined finally until an actual box has been designed and its measurements known.” Mr Shand said.
