INLAND MAILS
REQUEST FOR CARRIAGE BY AIR By Telegraph—Press Association DUNEDIN, February 11 The importance of the New Zealand air mail service was emphasised by a deputation from the Chamber of Commerce, the Manufacturers’ Association and the Importers’ and Shippers’ Association which waited on the Hon. F. Jones, Postmaster-General. The deputation asked that the overseas air mails, Inward and outward, should be carried by the New Zealand internal air services, at no additional charge ’whenever time could be saved, and also that an inland service should be provided at the lowest practicable surcharge an ounce. The Minister, replying, said the Government hoped to make a pronouncement in a week or so. The question of the amount of surcharge for the inland air mail was an important one, and somewhat difficult to arrive at in view of the amount of subsidy that would be required.
