MILK ACT SEEN AS INEVITABLE
In spite of continuing objections from the New Zealand Milk Authorities’ Association, it appeared that the Milk Bill would become law, abolishing milk authorities and transferring their functions to the New Zealand Milk Board, said Mr W. E. Olds, chairman of the Christchurch Metropolitan Milk Board, in his annual report yesterday.
“I am most apprehensive as to the effect this will have on the welfare of the consumers because this might be the last year in which the board will be able to operate and to protect the consumers’ interests,” he said.
A serious endeavour was being made by the producer company to improve the solids-not-fat content in the town milk supply, Mr Olds
said. He had been impressed by the methods adopted and the results so far indicated that the producers were 100 per cent behind the scheme. After considering estimates for the current financial year which provided for a deficit of £l7O, the board fixed a levy of .04d a gallon. Mr Olds said that £lOOO had been transferred from the goodwill trust.
