SHIPPING MOVEMENTS
free TRANSMISSION of NEWS.
(By Telegraph—Per Press Association,
WELLINGTON, Nov. 15
The l’ostmastor-General (Hon \V. Nosworthy) stated to-day that the P. and T. Department had been supplying free notification of the movements of shipping to the public for many years. This had proved expensive, and although there was naturally a good deal of hesitancy in disturbing a service which the public* had come to regard as a normal function of the Department, the work had attained such a proportion in recent years that it had lately been decided to abolish this 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, said the Minister, to reinstate the system, and in order to avert the resultant inconvenience to the public which might attend the termination of the service, the P. and T. Department would for the present continue to perform the work without recompense.
Afr Nosworthy added that the service would he reinstated at an early date.
