No More Free Regulations
p. 140 · Read in the full issue
SUBSCRIBERS to the Govern- O ment Gazette of Papua and New Guinea will not in future get for free all the many new Regulations that are churned out in that country.
When Regulations are made, notice to that effect will appear in the Gazette—it will be then up to the subscriber to purchase same from the Government Printer in Moresby or the sub-Treasury offices in Lae and Rabaul. Cost of Regulations will be from 3d. to 3 3, according to size.
The measure is not designed as a revenue making one, however. It is to avoid duplication in printing which has been causing consider able delay in Administration pub lications.
The measure was discussed—and approved—at the May meeting of the P-NG Legislative Council. Non official members pointed out that the new arrangement will cause inconvenience to outport dwellers who may have to wait weeks to obtain copies of important regula tions from their nearest source of supply.
