MILK COMMISSION
THE ORDER OF REFERENCE (P.A.) WELLINGTON, Tuesday. The Milk Commission, consisting of Messrs. W. R. Tuck (chairman), G. W. Dell and A. H. Ward, began its sittings to-day. . Mr. Tuck said the commission was appointed to inquire into the supply of milk to the four metropolitan areas and such other areas as might later be directed by the Minister of Agriculture. Other matters under its scope were alteration and reorganisation in methods of supply, treatment and distribution that might be necessary to ensure at reasonable prices adequate supplies of milk of high standard; also the supply of milk to the forces. The commission did not propose to usurp the functions of any other body, such as the Price Tribunal, or any arbitrator appointed between the City Council and, say, producers in Wellington. Some of the sittings could be held In open court, while others relating to the armed forces could not,' Mr. Tuck said. After the Wellington sitting it was proposed to visit Christchurch, Dunedin and Auckland and then return to Wellington.
