CUSTOMS REVENUE
fO CHF EDITOR
Sir, —In your issue of this morning you publish the monthly Customs returns for September. Although the Customs duty is down considerably and the figures of all items as published show a reduction of nearly £43,000, it is stated that the aggregate amount compared with last year shows an increase of nearly £12,000. Can you supply the figures showing this result? Those published from other centres show considerable decreases, and it would be interesting to know how the oosition at Dunedin is arrived at.—l am. etc.. Citizen. Dunedin, October 1.
I.The figures published by us did not include in the itemised list the amount credited to the War Expenses Account, which in September amounted to £42,076,’ and in the six-monthly period ended September 30 totalled £122,714. Several other items, which have not customarily been published, included light dues (which in September totalled £ll6. and in the half-year amounted to £1078), export levies on w;ol and hides and a large number of small miscellaneous receipts, which totalled only a few pounds.—Ed. O.D.T.]
