SMALL DAIRYMEN.
DEPUTATION TO COUNCIL.
Representatives of the Confectionery, i'ake and Dairy Association waited upon the Auckland Metropolitan Milk Council this morning to discuss a number of matters affecting the a>s<,ciation.
Mr. C. C. King said that the association had over 100 members. He added that it was not consulted about the price of milk and cream, and members could not find out who represented the small dairies.
The chairman, Mr. I. J. Goldstine, said "that there were two members elected to represent all the vending trade.
Mr. King said that the small dairies had little margin at the present time. A lot of people came in for three pennyworth of cream, and if they had to sell it in a carton that cost I'd. they could not make anything. They had 'been faced with general increased costs. They contended that cream should be sold to the small dairies at lnitterfat prices, and that there should lie direct delivery of milk, instead of it l>eing carted on a round.
Tlit* chairman asked (lie deputat ion to place tlic matter fully ln-fore the council in writing. and said that it would then lie given the fullest consideration.
