GOVERNMENT HOUSE,
14th. September, 1918.
I have the honour to inform you that my
attention has been drawn to a Board of Trade notification,
withdrawing the licences to pay fees in the United Kingdom
for the renewal of enemy owned trade marks that appeared in
the London Gazette of the 16th. July. I propose to issue a
proclamation here withdrawing the local licences that were
granted by proclamation on the 11th. February, 1916, and the
30th. November, 1917. I would, however, point out that by
virtue of section 18 of Ordinance No. 11 of 1917, enemy owned
trade marks will still remain on the register here in spite
of non-payment of renewal fees.
I have the honour to be,
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE
WALTER LONG, M, P.,
&C..
&c.
Sir.
Your most obedient,
humble servant,
Adudlevem
Officer Administering the Government.
