Rate of Duty to be levied on Winding-engines for Mining
Purposes when driven by Hydraulic Power.

—

PLUNKET, Governor.

WHEREAS winding-engines for mining purposes
driven by hydraulic power are articles which, in
the opinion of the Minister of Customs, possess such pro-
perties that they can be used for purposes similar to those
for which winding-engines for mining purposes, steam, air,
or electrically driven, are used : And whereas the last-
mentioned engines (including bed-plates, foundation-bolts,
and friction-clutches, when imported with the engines) are
liable to the following duties of Customs, namely : Five per
cent. ad valorem if the produce or manufacture of some part
of the British dominions, and fifteen per cent. ad valorem
if not the produce of such dominions :

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, in lieu of the duties imposed by the said Act,
there shall be levied on winding-engines for mining purposes
driven by hydraulic power (including bed-plates, foundation-
bolts, and friction-clutches, when imported with the engines)
the same duties of Customs as those hereinbefore specified,
namely :—

Five per cent. ad valorem if the produce or manufacture
of some part of the British dominions, and fifteen per
cent. ad valorem if not the produce of such dominions.

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

J. A. MILLAR,
Minister of Customs.
