Problems Arise Out Of Duties Duty on 'imported semi-fin- ished gun. stocks and gun bar- rele has been „increased to 'only .five percent surcharge (not 15 percent, as was indicated' in this paper last week). In considering the extra costs of imported goods, Ellwood Epps of Epps Sport Shop, fig- ured oat these comparisons with these prevailing g i x months ago. • 'Consider $100 worth of semi- finished gun atocks. Six months ago 'they cost 'the firm $118 to impost from 'the United States. Now the same $100 worth costs $153. ('Pius transportation and the provincial retail tax, of course.) The, highest increase which 'this Clinton importing firm has noted is with regard to guns. Considering .22 cal. rifles: Six months ago $100 worth. of these cost $129 to import. The cost is' now $170, plus transportation and retail 'tax, Increased costs apply to fish- ermen's supplies. Six months ago $100 worth of tackle cost $118. To-day the same $100 worth costs $159, plus trans- portation, and retail tax.
