Ward said he would be very glad to give consideration to the request, but it was no easy matter to introduce increased charges. If thev were to wait until all the people had been communicated with they would have to wait for perhaps three weeks. Ii was absolutely necessary, however, that all increased taxation should come into operation as quickly as possible. Keep on drinking "Desert Gold' Tea: keep on saving the "Camels.'
