MILK RATIONING
Retail Consumers Not Affected WHOLESALE SUPPLIES REDUCED The small measure of milk rationing announced in “The Press” yesterday by the Mayor of Christchurch (Mr E. H. Andrews), as chairman of the milk delivery committee, will not affect fetal! consumers. Only wholesale purchasers of milk from some of the larger milk companies will be rationed, the cut being about one-sixth of their normal purchases. In a further statement yesterday, Mr Andrews said that representatives of some of the larger milk companies had intimated to him that it would be necessary for them to reduce the quantity of milk supplied wholesale by onesixth. The companies had made every endeavour to secure milk to meet the requirements of all customers, even to the extent of bringing supplies from outside Canterbury, \but the prevailing conditions made it impossible to secure adequate supplies. These companies did not intend to 1 extend the rationing to retail customers. - The Mayor said he was informed that the companies expected conditions to improve within a few weeks, when full supplies would be restored.
