Mr McFarlane expressed the view that the change would be better for all concerned, as the company had given assurances that it would always be in the position to give adequate service and supply.

The council agreed to the proprsed change and authorised the Milk Committee to sign the necessary agreement. Mr McFarlane stated that, at this stage he could not say when the bottled milk would start to be delivered at Mount Maunganui although the change-over i's not expected to take very long.
