NEWSPAPER PRICES
gi SOUTH ISLAND INCREASE J An incrcz.se in the price of the daily i|| newspapers in the South Island from ; 9d to Is a week was made at the beginning of the year. In announo | ing the new charge, the Evening Star, ' Dunedin, said the sole reason was eoar- |! ing costs in all stages of production. Since the early days of the depression g ; the costs of paper and other materials, g| the distribution charges, and the telegraphic "and cable services had all been || considerably increased, and there was |. no prospect; of a reduction. A greater factor than any of these items had been the restoration of wages to the 1931 level coupled with shorter work- p. ing hours and. increased holidays. 4
