Question of Harbour Dues on Cairns Raw Sugar

A Harbour Board report discusses harbour dues on raw sugar imported from Cairns. It details weighting practices, fees paid by A.U.S.N. Co. Ltd and Howard Smith Ltd, penalties for late cargo, and a six year comparison showing underweights versus gross weights. The notice cites legal limits and totals a grand sum of £4744 19s 10d including penalties and interest.

Objection Over Sugar Weight Report And Freight Weights

Mr E J Lyon challenges a report claiming fraud in sugar weight and freight figures. He cites long standing practice of counting 14 bags as 3 tons, contradicting observed shortages in Melbourne and Sydney. The board must charge on gross weight, not net, and investigators defend the secretary’s inquiries.
