UNIVERSITY COMPUTER
Business Use Forbidden (N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND, July 22. Auckland University has been told by the Customs Department that business firms cannot make use of the university’s new electronic computer, since the computer was bought free of sales tax on the condition that it would be used solely for educational purposes within the university. The machine was'partly financed by business firms making advance payments to hire the use of the machine. Although it was not intended at this stage to claim tax, said the department, the practice must cease forthwith. The University Council was advised today that Professor N A. Mowbray, dean of the school of engineering, was preparing submissions to be made to the Comptroller of Customs seeking reconsideration of his decision. The council approved the resolution of the public relations and finance committee that no further outside orders be accepted in the meantime.
