' Tn response to the representations of the president of the Taranaki Chamber of Commorce (Mr. A. Goldwater) who recently inter- j riewed the manager of the Northern Steam- i flhip Company in regard to the proposal to take the Rarawa off this service for some time, the Chamber has received tho following letter from the general manager (Mr Ram- j son): "I am in receipt of your favour and | in reply have to say that your chairman called upon me when in Auckland and I fully j explained the position to him In regard to j the Rarawa being substituted by the s.s. I Rimu in the New riyunouth service for about I a month. So as to cause as little incon-' venience as possible to the travelling pub- | lie. owing to the visit of the Prince of Wales I and the Auckland winter races at the beginning of .Tune. 1 have received a short-dated certificate tn run the Manaia untlH the middle,or. end of .Tune. The winter moroths will have SPt In then, and as this Is the slack time of the year the s.s. Rlmu can easily cope with the trade. Unfortunately we are compelled to carry out certain repairs to the ss. Manaia when she Is undergoing her annual overhaul, and as we carry a great number of passengers in the AucklandWhangarel service, the Manaia must be replaced by the Rarawa. If we had a larger vessel than the Rimu to place In the New Plymouth trade she would be utilised for such I may say I approached the local manager of the Union S S. Company regarding the matter, but owinq to the shortage of steamers he stated they had not an available one to fill the gap. I regret very much that this disorganisation is necessary for a short period, and trust that this fully explains the position to you." OVERSEA STEAMERS.
