Cotton, Linen, and Union Piece-goods having Patterns or
Woven Devices thereon.

—

PLUNKET, Governor.

WHEREAS certain cotton, linen, and union piece-goods
are imported into New Zealand having thereon
patterns, woven devices, or other signs, which indicate that
they are to be cut up into separate articles, or to be manu-
factured into separate articles, such separate articles on
importation into New Zealand being liable to a duty of
20 per cent. ad valorem as drapery n.o.e. : And whereas the
Minister of Customs is of opinion that such piece-goods
possess such properties that they can be used and are
intended to be used for purposes similar to those for which
such separate articles are used :

Now, therefore, I, William Lee, Baron Plunket, the
Governor of the Dominion of New Zealand, in pursuance
and exercise of the powers and authority conferred upon me
by section seventeen of the Tariff Act, 1907, do hereby
direct that all such cotton, linen, and union piece-goods as
aforesaid shall be admitted to entry at a duty of 20 per
cent. ad valorem, such duty being, in my opinion, in pro-
portion to the degree in which such piece-goods approximate
in their properties and uses to the aforesaid separate
articles.

As witness the hand of His Excellency the Governor,
this eighteenth day of February, one thousand
nine hundred and eight.

J. A. MILLAR,
Minister of Customs.
