HARBOUR BOARD REVENUE
Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, May 2G
An assurance that harbour boards would not be adversely affected financially by the Primary Products Marketing Act was given by the Minister of Finance and Marketing (Hon. W. Nash) in a letter to the Harbours’ Association of New Zealand read at a meeting of the Auckland Harbour Board.
The Minister said it was definitely the intention of the Government that harbour boards should not suffer as a result of the passing of the Bill, and that so long as the Government continued to acquire a title to dairy produce for export at the f.o.b. point wharfage and other harbour dues would be payable by factories as at present. Dues were to be payable by the State in the event of the title to the goods being- taken at an earlier point. “It is now clearly defined that the Act will not prevent harbour boards from collecting their revenue,” said the chairman, Mr C. G. Macindoe. “The position is now secure arid safe.”
