IMPORTATION BANNED
SECOND-HAND BLANKETS
PREVENTION OF DISEASE
(Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day
Although there has been no trade in this particular commodity, the importation of second-hand blankets and rugs into the Dominion is prohibited in a regulation published in the Gazette last night.
The objective of the regulation is to prevent the possible introduction of disease, and it brings blankets and rugs into the same category as clothing, the importation of second-hand clothing being already prohibited.
The new regulation does not include the personal property of people coming into the Dominion or personal gifts.
