STATE MEAT SHOPS
SUCCESS IN AUCKLAND. "The 'Auckland State meat shops are going on very well," said the Hon. TV. D. S. Mac Donald yesterday. "Up till the present the experiment has been very satisfactory. One result has been that other shops have bronchi down' their prices to the level at which they stood in January, when the increases were made which caused the. Government to take action. The butchers have now brought down their prices to the January level, excepting only the prices for certain special cuts. Generally, however, the Auckland butchers'' prices are still Jd. or Id. per lb. higher than those of tho. Government meat shops. "Two members of the Board of Trade have been in Auckland, and they will report to me on the meat business there when they return to Wellington. They are leaving Auckland to-day for Wellington l , via Gisborne, where they are going to try to arrange_ to have the Giebome butchers supplied with meat from the freezing works."
