CIVIL SERVANTS AND TRADING COMPANIES.
THE NEW BAILWAY TARIFF. WELLINGTON, Dec. 23. At a meeting of Directors of the Gear Meat Company it was understood that it had been decided to declare a dividend of ten per cent at the annual meeting. The Property Tax collected yesterday at the Head Office and post-offices throughout the Colony amounted to about .£30,000. A fresh circular has been issued respecting Civil servants taking part in trading Companies. This circular allows any of the Government servants to take, part at a meeting of a Company at which their interests are at stake. By this any of the officers can take part in proceedings at meetings providing it does not interfere with his official duties. A Gazette will be published in a few days with a revised tariff of railway charges. The principal alterations are in the direction of fostering local manufactures and aiding local industries. Where the rail traffic is opposed by road traffic, reductions have been made which will largely increase the quantity of goods carried by the railway. DUNEDIN De<:. 23. Bayliss died in the Hospital.
