PORT OF PATEA CUSTOMS REVENUE That the port of Patea is serving a very useful purpose is shown by the Customs revenue collected for the year ending March 31 last. This amounted to no less than £63,401, a record we believe, for the port. The figures are greater by £lB,OOO than those for Oamaru, and are nearly treble the amount collected at Hokitika, and over treble the amount col«cted at Westport.
