MARKETING OF EGGS
Sir,—May I ask the Egg Marketing Board, as I will be compelled to send my eggs to the egg floor, how much tax I will be required to pay on all eggs, presuming they will give me Is 4d and Is 6d a dozen as I am now able to get without the board's control. Of course I know my work of packing and cleaning, feeding, etc.. is all done just for a pastime, and would like to know the tax: etc.. as my family will be living on poultry a few weeks hence if 1 have to pay tax for my few spare eggs.-Yours. etc.. September 14. 1942. [The chairman of directors of the Central Egg Marketing Floor Limited. Mr C. Ferguson, said yesterday that the charge for handling the eggs was 7i per cent. In view of the Poultry Board and the organised egg producers obtaining a higher price this year for eggs than last year to the extent of 2d a dozen producers should appreciate the fact that it was a better proposition to. support organised marketing. If everybody marketed thei. - eggs as the writer of the letter was doing chaotic conditions would prevail.]
