HEATED DISCUSSION
Auckland Milk Council Meeting By Telegraph—Press Association. ’ Auckland, March 11. A declaration by the chairman of the Auckland Milk Council, Mr. I. J Goldstine, that he was going to take a strong stand to prevent the council bein<r used as a political weapon led to a dramatic and heated discussion at today’s meeting. Election methods amounting to “behind-the-scenes manipulation” were alleged and strenuous defences given. A climax came when the chairman suggested that two City council consumer representatives, Messrs; N. V. Douglas and E. F. Andrews, should resign. In the course of discussion Mr. Andrews said North Shore consumers were absolutely dissatisfied with the condition of the milk delivered. Tbe chairman said the city council representatives were showing unusual concern for the consumers, and he wondered whether this had anything to do with the May election. Mr. Douglas denied that he had the May election in view when he supported a resolution moved by Mr. Andrews in connection, with consumers’ interests. He had no intention of resigning.
