ABOUT CUT FLOWERS.
Tourist Complains OF Delay in
Getting Them from Steamer.

MR.. EDITOR wish TO record my
complaint against the manifestly alb
surd action of the Bureau of Agricul-
ture in denying myself and at least a
dozen other tourists. the privilege OF
taking with us from the steamer pack
ages of cut flowers which were brought
down on the Australia.
The Port Surveyor informed me that
his instructions are positive and
could get them only after the flowers
had been inspected, and a permit OF re-
lease was obtained from Commissioner
Marsden or his representative. l ap-
piled for mine several times up TO ten
o'clock tonight, but was informed each
time that they had not been examined,
although the commissioner had been
repeatedly telephoned about it. would
like to ask you if this rule is necessary
in case of cut flowers that have been
on ice for a week. TOURIST.

Inquiry was made of Port Surveyor
Stratemeyer last night regarding the
above complaint. He stated that he
had acted under the orders of Commits
sioner Marsden who he had notified
several times. The last time, whoever
answered the telephone message stated
that Mr.. Marsden was on his way to the
wharf, but he failed to arrive. Mr..
Stratemeyef thinks that annoyance
could be saved tourists by the Commits
sioner deputizing someone to act for
him on the arrival of the steamer so
that the flowers, which tourists had
taken the trouble to bring down here,
could be promptly taken away. ED. ]
