SHIPPED GOODS
SFEEDY CLEARANC E AT v WELLINGTON ‘ Excellent results from the system ‘ adopted at Wellington for the clear-L ance of incoming goods are reported i by the chief executive officer of the h Wellington Harbour Board. Mr. F. W. Reed. The congestion that reached t an acute stage last April had entirely r disappeared, he said, and for the past i four months there had been no need t to call in the assistance of the special i committee of the interests concerned i which had been set up to help facili- i fate clearances from the wharves. ? Mr. Reed added that the action of ] the Customs Department in waiving i some of the regulations governing th- < inspection of goods had helped, as j i goods could be held in bond in the < ■ importer's own warehouse while the ; necessary papers were awaited. He i estimated that 60 per cent, of the.;' i goods arriving were without com- ■: ' plote papers because of the disorgani- ! sat ion caused by war conditions.
