ERROR DISCOVERED
COMMEMORATIVE STAMP NOT VIEWED SERIOUSLY (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. A mistake on the new Chamber of Commerce stamp of the halfpenny denomination has been discovered by collectors. The error occurs in the license numbers of i\ lorry which is laden with wool, which is depicted on the stamp. Instead of the heavy traffic plates, there are five figures in the group, which should be displayed only- by motor cars.
A magnifying glass is required to show the defect, which, however, is not regarded seriously by the Post and Telegraph Department.
