MAHENO’S SMALL CARGO
DUNEDIN BUSINESSMAN EXPLAINS IRREGULAR SERVICES Press Association DUNEDIN, Today.
In reply to the Union Company’s statement concerning the small cargo in- the’ Maheno on the Melbourne-Bluff run, a prominent commercial man states that had there been regular services between Melbourne and the South Island ports, consignees vrould have notified their correspondents abroad to have the cargo transhipped to Melbourne.
Owing to the lack of connection, the cargo has been carried on to Sydney and transhipped through via Wellington for South Island ports. When a proper service is offered via Melbourne to South Island ports, importers here would undoubtedly give every assistance they could to the service and trade should steadily grow. If the company would feature the West Coast Sounds by calling there, he was sure the Melbourne-Bluff route would become very popular. This was proved on the present trip when, as a result of the request to the captain to take the boat to Milford Sound, a charge of £IOO was asked and collected from the passengers for the privilege.
