LETTERS RETURNED
WITH MONEY INTENDED FOR TASMANIA. ACTION BY POST OFFICE. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, May 9. Auckland investors in a Tasmanian “consultation,” who have been sending their remittances to forwarding addresses in Hobart, have had their money returned to them this week, not as the profits of chance, but by vigilant post office censors, who have frowned on attempted evasions of the finance emergency regulations concerning the sending of New Zealand currency out- of the country. With each returned letter has been a small printed slip, intimating that, unless consent of the Reserve Bank has been obtained, it is illegal under the regulations to send postal notes and money in other forms out of the Dominion. It was learned that the policy of stopping remittances to the Tasmanian “consultation'’ was inaugurated immediately before the dispatch of the last Australian mail. A special staff of censors was appointed at the Chief Post Office, Auckland, and all letters addressed to Hobart were opened. It was stated that about 600 letters were found containing remittances, and that these have been returned to the senders.
