SCHOOL MILK.
Can the Auckland Metropolitan Milk Council explain why it sees fit to fix the price jfor school "inilk on the North Shore lid per gallon and the Birkdale School 2d per gallon hifrher than the south side? The household milk is 2d cheaper, and yet the school milk is 2d dearer. These districts are all I zoned, yet the Milk Council not only allows an outside monopoly to step in and break the spirit of zoning, but allows them a higher price to bring the milk over from the city. There is a licensed dairy within a quarter of a mile of most of the schools on' the North Shore. Why not give these dairyjinen a chance to supply this milk? They could probably supply a much better and fresher article as well as cheaper. ANTI-MONOPOLY. TThe secretary of the Auckland Metropolitan Milk Council, Mr. N. R. Chapman, stated that the Milk Council had nothing to do with the matters under complaint in this case The prices for school milk, both to the farmer and to the schools, was fixed by the Government (the Department of Health) through the Milk in Schools Committee. The council merely fixed the prices they were asked to fix. Contracts for supplv were also fixed by the Department, through the committee.—Ed.]
