CUSTOMS EXAMINATION
AN AUCKLAND WANT. “FOLLOW WELLINGTON’S LEAD.” The centralisation of all customs examinations in one shed on a. central wharf was urged in a letter received by the Council of the Auckland Chamber .of Commerce from the Suburban Master Carriers’ Association. In Auckland at present there was a customs examination depot on each wharf, stated the letter, and the Harbour Board and customs authorities were at present considering the amount of space to he allotted for customs examinations on the new wharf. It was suggested that a system similar to that in operation in Wellington should be adopted at Auckland, as the centralisation of aIT customs examinations on the ground floor of one shed on a central: wharf would result in a considerable saving; of space to the board, and enable importers and carriers to attend to customs examination more efficiently and with a smaller staff. The letter was ..referred to the ship-' ping committee. - ■■■
