Continuing, Mr. Reakes says:— •■'.•;•' ■•'•-'/ ' 'In a tountry like New Zealand, where wool and meat especially- form ?o great a proportion"of our 'total exports, the maintenance of a liigh standard of quality in lire stock is, an absolute essential if we are to continuo to hold our position against our competitors, in- the world's markets, so it is only right that any concessions that-can reasonably bo given to importers of high-class ' stock should ' be, granted, hence, my recommendations in-' elude a reduction in the 'amounts .charged as quarantine fees. . .;'. The provision of now, and up-to-date buildings for the accommodation of'stock in Quarantine is becoming necessary at nil : three stations in New Zealand, and I consider that pteps ..should, be taken. to. provide the«e. Some inorcaso. to the present accommodation at Somes Island has already- been authorised, yet remains to be done, and I intend to mako recommendations accordingly." v-.
