BLUFF TO MELBOURNE
SERVICE CANCELLED (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. The Union Steam Ship Company of New Zealand, Limited, announces that it is now unable to provide this summer a passenger service between South Island ports and Melbourne, in which service it was intended to place the Maunganui. The reasons for thife decision are the necessity of conserving fuel oil stocks and the company's reluctance to incur in the existing circumstances an operating loss involved, which it is considered will be greater than in previous years, because of the falling away of the passenger traffic as a result of war conditions.
