CONCESSION WITHDRAWN
RAILWAY FREIGHTS ON FROZEN MUTTON AND TALLOW.
(By Telegraph. Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Friday. It was decided by the Government in February, 1933, in view of the low prices then ruling for primary products,. to reduce temporarily by 15 per cent the classified rates for th> conveyance of certain classes of these goods by rail, the loss of revenue to the Railway Department to be borne by the Consolidated Fund. In April last, having regard to the better price then obtaining for wool, sheep, lambs, skins and hides, this special ®concession was withdrawn in so far as these products were concerned. The position has been further reviewed by the Government, which has now decided to withdraw forthwith the concession in respect of frozen mutton, frozen lamb and tallow.
