The general manager of the Union Steam Ship Company has written expressing his appreciation of the tnvltattan of the Taranakl Chamber of Commerce to visit New Plymouth wilh the object of discussing shipping matters, but b sorry that he cannot avail himself of same at the present time owing to pressure of business and the early approach of several conferences. He goes on to say that the company recognised, on account of war conditions, the service to New Plymouth has not been as good as it would have liked to provide, and as a matter of fact, though the war was over, war conditions still obtained to some extent, as a number of the company's vessels are still under Government requisition. The question of improvement in the New Flymoulh service is having close attention, and it was hoped that at an early date the company would be in a position to place a vessel of the Flora type to run in conjunction with the Corinna from the south, and in the interim the company would give an extra connection over and abope the Corinna by one of Its smaller cargo boals, as In the case of the Karamu, which has just visited the port, also the Kowhai. So far as the service from Wellington to New' Plymouth Is concerned, the company has just chartered the Karu to the Canterbury Shipping Company, and it was their intention to let the vessel make trips from time to time from Wellington, via Picton, to New Plymouth. They looked forward to the general posit'on In regard to tonnage becoming easier In the near future, and as would no doubt have been seen from press messages, had already secured two large cargo steamers, which would be delivered to them in the Old Country next month In addition to which they had completed negotiations for three other vessels of similar type to be delivered before tho end of the year With these vessels added to the fleet, the smaller tonnage would be released, and fair consideration given to the requirements of the company's regular trades which had been penalised to some extent through war shortage.
