REGULATIONS UNDER THE DRIED FRUITS EXPORT CHARGES ACT 1924-1927.

WHEREAS by section 4 of the Dried Fruits Export Charges Act 1924-1927, it is enacted that the Governor-General may, after report to the Minister by the Dried Fruits Control Board constituted under the Dried Fruits Export Control Act 1924, make regulations prescribing a lower rate of the charge imposed on dried currants, dried sultanas, or dried lexias exported from the Commonwealth.

Now, therefore, I, the Governor-General in and over the Commonwealth of Australia, acting with the advice of the Federal Executive Council, hereby make the following Regulations under the Dried Fruits Export Charges Act 1924-1927, to come into operation as from the first day of March, One thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven.
