SERVICE TO XliW PLYMOUTH.. The Union Company has written the TaranaKi v,tu\mi>er ot Luuimerce sayniK thai it reoocnißWi, on account ol war conditions, the service to JNew J'lymouin has nut been as u'oixl as it would nave lilted to provide. 'I'lie tiuestion of improvement in the New I'iymouth service is having close attention, and it was hoped that at an early data tho company would be in a position to place a vessel of ■ the JMom type to- run in conjunction witil the C'onnna from the south, ana 111 tll o interim the company would give an extva connection over and above Wj oorinna y one of its smaller cargo boats, as in the ease of tho Kararau, which lias .1 ust visited the port, also tho Kowhai. So far as the service from Wellington i.o Ijew Plymouth is concerned, the company has' .inst chartered the Karu to tho Canterbury shipping Company, and it 'was their intention to let tie vessel mako trips from

lime to time from Wellington, via Picton to New Plymouth. They looked forward lo tho general position in regard to tonnage becoming easier in the near future, and as would no doubt liitvo been seen from ProES messages, had already secured two large cargo steamers which would bo delivered to them in the Old Country next month, in addition lo which they had complete negotiations for three other vessels of similar typo to be delivered before the end of the year. With these vessels added lo the fleet, the smaller tonnage would lie released, and fair consideration given to the requirements of the company's regular trade 3 which had been penalised lo some extent through war shortage.
