DUNEDIN AUCTIONEER'S SUGGESTION.
DUNEDIN, 24th;$iarch.
A! meeting of Dunedin stock agents was held to-day to consider tho meat exporters' claims to deduct the Control Board's levy of a penny per head on sheep and lamb 3 bought either privately or at auction. It was decided to resist this method of collection, on the grounds that the Government regulation clearlystated that the amounts were payable oil export. The discussion raised many other reasons against the method pro.posed. Dunedin auctioneers consider, therefore, that the proper procedure to cover the charge is for the freezing companies to make an addition to their charges under which the buyers would automatically provide for it in their pperations.
