MILK PRICES AT AUCKLAND
* NO INCREASE FOR THE CONSUMER
(FBESS ASSOCIATIO* TEL* ORAU-) AUCKLAND, July 29. “There is to be no increase in the price of milk to the public, although the Milk Council decided after a long discussion in committee to fix the dairyman’s average margin for 12 months at a halfpenny a gallon more than it has been in the past. For four winter months in 1939 the farmer will.receive 12Jd a gallon instead of lid, as he now does, but in eight months, between September 1 next and April 30, laa9, he will receive 103 d, the same as he has hitherto. The price of milk will still be 6d a quart for loose milk in ordinary areas, 51 d a quart in zoned areas, and an extra id in both instances for bottled milk.
