AUCKLAND’S PROTEST
A decision to approach the Government to express as its opinion that the mails to be carried by the steamers arriving in New Zealand from the United Kingdom, via Panama, should come to the central port, namely, Wellington, was made at a meeting of the council of the Chamber of Commerce last evening. Tenders' were called recently by the Post and Telegraph Department for a direct mail service between New Zealand and the United Kingdom, via Panama. Protest was made by Auckland bodies against the apparent omission of Auckland as a possible port of call and final port of departure for the mail steamers. The Postmaster-General, the Hon. J. B. Donald, upon receiving the protest, advised that tenders for the service to Auckland would have the same ebnsideration as tenders for similar services from and to Wellington.
