CITY MILK SUPPLY.

TO TBI EDITOR 01 THB FWtSS. gj r —Mr Wheeler, in 4 P c .letter,- states that " e . ®ilk KT- boing ?S 6 would welcome any improvemade by the producers, provided S keoP to their promise of gmng , the farmers the price they stated when Lkinir them, to join up (without affeotin" the retailer and consumer)* If * Sr Wheeler and his colleagues can do that/ and supply the milk in donblegealed bottles,, then I believe the pro- • dncera' proposalis worth some considWheeler and party have so - far made nothing public as to how they intend to carry on their scheme with- ■! "out passing on the extra cost to the con--1 Burner. We have so far only got •-■patches of the scheme. If Mr WheelI'er can explain to the general public in a more detailed manner the objects \ and aims of his Association, I am sure >it would be very much appreciated. >' We are living in the age of free v and open competition, and there is nor - thing to stop the producers from start- ■ f ing their, depot, and taking their chance the opan market. Men have bought themselves into the milk business, and ■ t others have worked tho business up,' ' land all their life-savings are involved ' tin the milk question. Jf the producers Shave combined to crush the small milkSjnan and dairyman out of business, the ri'i&mer the ' general public know the «.true facts the better. In conclusion, I may state, that it jrould be foolishness, on my 1 part to seek •Itydightefciment: from the Town Clerk "an erroneous impression," manufactured by Mr Wheeler himself. The ,' fthove is only my personal opinion, and v #!?jnay, or may not, be the opinion of the 'lfjtojority of vendors.—Yours, etc., ■M J. EIETWISTLE. '■M U&p 2nd, 1.930. . . . . . .
