PROTEST MADE.
TAX ON BUTTER BOXES. (Per Pres 9 Association.) NEW PLYMOUTH, July 26. “We have to pay a fine of 3d a box on each of the boxes we are compelled to use,” said Mr L. E. Hann (chairman of the Stratford Dairy Company), protesting against the enforced acceptance recently of a large supply of buttei boxes from the makers. Under the Government control instructions a fine was instituted, ihe said, to discourage the use of inferior boxes when containers were available. _ Now the Government had issued instructions that only the inferior type could he used in view of the shortage of timber, but it had not removed the fine on boxes that had a monopoly.
