DUNEDIN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
[punas absootatio* tbleqeam.l DUNEDIN, September 1. At a meeting of the Chamber of Commerca to-day, the following motions were passed—" That this Chamber has learnt with surprise and regret that the subsidy of £40,000 proposes by the Government for the establishment of a direct steam service between Great Britain and New Zealand was reduced by the House of Bepresentatives to £20,000. That the last-named sum is in the opinion of this Chamber quite inadequate to secure euoh a service, and this Chamber therefore earnestly requests that the resolution may be considered by the House, and such a sum be voted as is likely to seoure so desirable an object. That these resolutions be forwarded by telegraph to the Hon. the Treasurer and the city members, and that the Otago members be requested to support the proposal. That a copy of these resolutions be telegraphed to the Canterbury and Inveroargill Chambers of Commerce inviting their 00-operation." A resolution was also proposed asking the Hon. Mr Reynolds to take steps to oppose Mr M'Kerjzie's amendment olause in the Land Act relative to the sine of pastoral leases, but it was withdrawn, as the meeting had been called for a special object.
