COUNTRY TELEPHONES
Subscribers’ Deputation To Postmaster Dominion Special Service. MASTERTON, March 24. The oppositiou to increased charges for country telephones' that was first voiced at a meeting of the Wairarapa Provincial Executive of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union, and later at a meeting of settlers in Tiuui, came to a head today when a deputation representing settlers, freezing companies, live stock auctioneers and Masterton retailers waited on the Masterton postmaster, Mr. M. M. Simpson. Mr, Simpson promised to forward the deputation’s representations to the Post and Telegraph Department. “We firmly contend that the present time is entirely inopportune to restore the original charges, as the farming industry has today fully entered into a period of actual and pending depression that bids lair to eclipse the slump period of 19931. when the concessions were granted,” said a Tinui farmer, Mr. J. Andrew.
