ROYALTY ON COAL.
PROTEST AT NEW TAX. ; By Telegraph.—Press Association. Westport, Laj?t Night. The Buller Progress League has resolved to make strong representations to the Government to remove the imposition of an additional (id per ton on pew coal leases. The mover said old leases paid 6d per ton, but now leases had to pay Is per ton. This was an unfair handicap, as very often the acceptance or rejection of tenders depended on 6d per ton or less. He said that if the Government imposed Jd per lb. on all butter or cheese produced by new r factories, or on wool produced by new companies, or extra charges per foot on all timber produced by new sawmilling companies, there would be a howl from one end of the Dominion to the other, yet an injustice such as this was being done to new’ coal companies, and it would seriously hamper development if the extra royalty were not removed.
