Duty to be levied on Bush’s Cream of Tartar Substitute.

PLUNKET, Governor.

WHEREAS a certain article of merchandise known as “Bush’s Cream of Tartar Substitute” is imported into New Zealand, which is apparently a substitute for cream of tartar, the latter being a dutiable article under “The Customs and Excise Duties Act, 1888”:

And whereas Bush’s Cream of Tartar Substitute has properties which enable it to be used for a similar purpose as cream of tartar:

Now, therefore, I, William Lee, Baron Plunket, the Governor of the Colony of New Zealand, in pursuance and exercise of the powers and authority conferred upon me by section seventeen of “The Customs and Excise Duties Act, 1888,” do hereby direct that on and after the date hereof there shall be levied on Bush’s Cream of Tartar Substitute a duty of one penny the pound, such duty being equal to the duty on cream of tartar.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor, this twenty-first day of January, one thousand nine hundred and five.
