CASH ON DELIVERY SYSTEM.
TRANSPORT OF GOODS. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, July 21. The transport o'f goods on the railway was the subject of a question in the House recently, when Mr. F. J. Rolleston (Tiinaru) asked what was being done in the matter of extending the cash on delivery system. Inquiries at the Railway Department indicate that, in order to give an efficient and up-to-date service to the users of railway facilities, there has already been put in operation a system for the collection of carriers’ charges on consignments entrusted to the department for delivery at officered stations. Under this arrangement any carrier is able to collect from the Railway Department all charges for the conveyance of a package to a forwarding station, the latter adding this charge to the amount collected from the consignee at the receiving station and refunding the carrier’s to him. Many people are already availing themselves of this facility and the convenience it presents in the transport of goods is causing an expansion of railway business over various sections.
