Fiji
SUVA July 3.
IN spite of the increased duty on spirituous liquors, “nips” in Suva hotels will still cost 1/-; the only catch is that consumers will receive slightly less for their money.
Higher duty on spirits was introduced in Fiji in December, 1945, but stocks on hand enabled consumers to buy at old rates until July 1, when increased rates came into operation. The new prices (per bottle) are: brandy, 26/-; whisky, 26/-; gin, 21/-; and rum, 21/-.
