FIXING THE DAIRY PRICE
♦ COMMITTEE’S FIRST MEETING [From Our Parliamentary .Reporter.] WELLINGTON, July 27. The advisory committee set up by the Government to carry out investigations and make recommendations concerning the fixing of the guaranteed prices for butter and cheese for the new dairy season opening on Monday held its first meeting in Wellington this morning. The committee comprises Sir Francis Frazer (chairman). Messrs CL A. Duncan, N. H. Moss, and H. M. Caselberg (Government representatives), and Messrs C. P. Agar, WMarshall, and Professor A. H. Tocker, representing the dairy industry. The committee is being supplied with full statistical data and other relevant information concerning the general position of the dairy industry, and an examination of all this material and the hearing of witnesses will probably take several days. The committees report will include recommendations for the new season’s prices; but the final decision will rest with the Government. If the new prices cannot be announced by Monday arrangements will be made for the current season’s prices to continue in force. An adjustment in payments will be made as soon as the new rates are determined.
