Milk Deliveries
Sir, —“Eternal vigilance” is the watchword for democracy. The wartime arrangement of household milk supply delivery to within six feet of the front gate is still in force. Is this the decree of the Christchurch City Council dictating to the citizens, or is it an arrangement by the milk vendors among themselves backed by the zoning of deliveries —another wartime measure? In the industrial district once residential, do milk vendors receive compensation for the loss of "gallons” caused by industry taking over the homes once supplied by the vendor?— Yours, etc., VIGILANCE. August 17, 1959. [The secretary of the Christchurch Metropolitan Milk Board (Mr H. S. Feast) said that the by-laws of the Christchurch Metropolitan Milk Board (not the Christchurch City Council) provided that no milk roundsman should be obliged to deliver milk to a point more than six feet within the boundary of the land appurtenant to a dwelling-house. Vendors were compensated under the board’s specified gallonage scheme for any loss of gallonage as the result of residential areas becoming industrialised.]
