WOOL SALE ROSTER
CHANGE NOT FAVOURED
(New Zealand Press Association) HASTINGS, March 8.
A proposal that the New Zealand Wool Board and the Wool Commission be -asked to devise a sale roster providing for simultaneous and separate wool sales in both North and South Islands is not favoured by the Hawke’s Bay provincial meat and wool executive of Federated Farmers.
At a meeting today delegates heard Mr P. S. Plummer, Central Hawke’s Bay representative on the electoral college, argue in favour of the present roster system, and against the proposed change.
The suggestion for simultaneous sales in both islands is incorporated in a remit to come before the half-yearly meeting of the electoral college. The meeting did not pass a formal resolution ‘against the remit, or ask him to oppose it, but members accepted his views that the change was undesirable. “It appears dangerous.” was a comment when the remit was first "read to the meeting.
