CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
Government Departments Criticised. The growing tendency of Government departments to make extravagant and arbitrary demands on persons carrying on business and requiring them to supply information of a confidential nature has been made the subject of a protest from the Gore Chamber of Commerce to the Associated Chambers of Commerce. The 'letter points out that inquiries are made into financial status and resources, together with a mass of other details involving considerable time and trouble in preparation, particularly in regard to applications for heavy traffic licenses.
The Associated Chambers of Commerce have circularised the chambers on the subject. The circular states that the executive understands that the road transport business is not the only one which is required to give intimate details and it asks for instances of any other businesses that could be quoted in the same connection. To obtain information with a view to making representations to the Government, a sub-committee had been set up to go into the position.
