CHEAP MEAT.
SCHEME FOR UNEMPLOYED. OFFER TO LOCAL BODIES. An intimation that arrangements had been made for a cheap supply of meat to registered unemployed was received by the Devonport Borough Council last evening from the officer in charge of unemployment in the Auckland district. He said that the arrangement provided for a supply of beef at lid a lb ex store at the Farmers' Freezing Company, Southdown, and the meat was available to any local body, which would have to arrange for the transport of the meat from Southdown. The Mayor, Mr. H. F. W. Meikle, said that last year a similar offer had been declined, because the local body was asked to do something which contravened its by-law. Butchers' shops were licensed and provision was made for the meat to he treated under hygienic conditions. There was the question, too, of its effect on butchers. Mr. G. Hardy suggested that the offer ho referred to the local unemployed organisations' to see if it could make some arrangement for the distribution of the meat.
The Mayor replied that there was no objection to that . course, which' was then adopted.
