MASSAGE:

It is claimed that the chief obstacle in the past to the development of this enter- prise has been the lack of Government. encouragement in the way of exempting home-made sugar from raxation. Prior to 1914 the tax or customs duty on sugar, amounted to abant I farthing (one-hal?) cent) por pound, but the tax, Eas been graditally advanced, until at present it is 1d. ( uents) per' pound on the best grades of sugar.
