PRICE OF MANURES
REQUEST FOR REDUCTION
Dominion Special Service. Gisborne, March 4. “You must not expect the Government to do everything.” said the Prime Minister to-day, in reply to a deputation which had approached him with regard to a reduction in the price of fertilisers. “We are not wholesale and retail dealers. We want to ask you to conduct your own business and make other people tight, so that there will be competition enabling you to obtain the prices you desire.” The Prime Minister referred to the amount of money which had already been made available by the new Government to settlers and workers, and recalled that there was £1,600,000 still in hand to meet applications when valuations had been completed. When that was finished there would be another £2,000.000.
