MEAT EXPORT BOARD
OPPOSITION TO LEVY.
(Per Press Association.)
DUNEDIN, March 24.
A meeting of Dunedin stock agents was held to-day to consider the meat exporters’ claim to deduct the Coiitroj Board’s levy of one penny per head on sheep and lambs bought either privately or at auction.
It was decided to resist this method of collecting on the grounds that tlio Government regulation cl< arly states that the amounts are payable on export and the discussion raised many other reasons against the. method proposed. Dunedin auctioneers consider, therefore that the proper procedure to cover the charge is fo’- freezing companies to make an addition to their charges under which buyers would automatically provide for it on their operations.
