SHIPS’ MOVEMENTS
P. AND T. DEPARTMENT’S NOTIFICATIONS.
SERVICE TO BE RE-INSTATED.
Wellington, Nov. 15.
Th e Postmaster-General (the Hon W. Nosworthy) stated to-day that the P. and T. Department had be'en supplying free notifications of the movements of shipping to the public for many years. This had proved expensive and although there was naturally a good deal of hestitancy in disturbing a service which the public had come to regard as a normal function of the department, the work had attained such proportions in recent years that it had lately been decided to abolish tho service. This step had seemed justifiable but in view, however, of the representations made that the abolition of the service would cause much real inconvenience to those connected with the working of ships, as well as to the travelling public, it had been decided to reinstate the system, and in order to avert the resultant inconvenience to the public which might attend the termination ut the service, the P. and T. Department would for the present continu e to perform the work with out recompense. Mr Noswcrthy added that the service would be reinstated at any early date.
