EXCHANGE RATES
SURCHARGE ON PASSAGE MONEY
Owing to the adverse exchange rates, it has been decided by the Australian and New Zealand Passenger Conference to make a surcharge of 5 per cent, on passagos from New Zealand by the Suez, Cape of Good Hope, and direct passenger lines via Panama or Cape Horn. From 24th December the surcharge will be added to all passage money paid in New Zealand. The surcharge will not apply to passages booked before 24th December, and intending passengers who have already paid deposits on tickets available at a future date are not subject to the impost. In making the i> mouncement the conference stated that \t had been reluctantly compelled to make the surcharge, in view of the high cost of exchange in remitting money to the head offices of the various companies in London.
