TRANSTASMAN SERVICE PAYMENT ON POUNDAGE BASIS Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright SYDNEY, March 13. (Received March 13, at 1.15 p.m.) The ‘ Sydney Morning Herald ’ says the proposed transtasman air service will be controlled by some form of interdominion commission or board, if the plans that are now subject to negotiation between the British, Commonwealth, and New Zealand Governments are adopted. It is learned that the original proposal that the Tasman service should be operated on a direct subsidy basis has been abandoned, and that it is now proposed that each Government should pay on a poundage basis for mails carried.
