The Tariff Commission.
(Per Press Association.) Dcnedin, March 6. At the Tariff Commission A. Miller tendered evidence that a large class of property was escaping taxation, namely riparian. Wright, manager for A. and T. Inglis' boot factory differed from the views put forward by the Bookmaters 1 Association both here and at Christchurch, and opposed the tariff they proposed. A witness asked for an increase of 25 per cent on sheep dip, and a twine manufacturer asked that white twine yarn used for making twine should be admitted free. A white shirt maker asked that the duty be taken off linen used for making fronts, cuffs and fittings. A fish salesman asked that the present duty on cotton nets, equal to 15 per cent, be removed ; that Australian frozen duck, and mutton birds from the Islands, be admitted free, and that a duty be placed on imported Cod Liver Oil.
