Furniture Conveyance

WELL-KNOWN resident of a northern town recently transferred his home to Auckland. He obtained alternative quotations for the transport of his furniture from the Railway Department, and from a well-known carrying firm. In a letter to the Department he admits his surprise when he learned that the railway charge (plus cartage to and from rail) was substantially cheaper. The Department states that a strong impression exists that its charge for the conveyance of furniture is high. As a matter of fact, a recent reduction of 32 per cent. (more than 6s. in the £1) enables the railway to quote a particularly attractive price for this class of traffic.
