VENDORS TO PARTICIPATE
MAJORITY FAVOUR COMPANY
SYSTEM,
The period given to the individual milk vendors to decide whether or not they' would agree to submit their businesses to form part of the City Council's new scheme regarding the supply and delivery of milk expired at noon to-day. Councillor C. B. Norwood, chairman of the Special Milk Committee, which has had control of all arrangements bo far, expressed pleasure at announcing to a Post reporter that practically all the vendors had agreed to register, which meant that they were all prepared to participate in the scheme. "I am also pleased to say," continued Councillor Norwood, "that a great majority of the vendors favour the company scheme which I outlined to them at a recent meeting. By this method it will be more simple to define the interests of the smaller vendors, a great number of whom arc now supplying only from 10 to 30 gallons of milk per day, whereas theminimum block under the council's scheme will be 60 gallons a day. The co-operative nature of the scheme will, my committee believes, bring the vendors enthusiastically to the council's assistance, as their own interests will lie in that direction. It is too early to give the exact details of the vendors' position under the new scheme, but this will be made public at a very early date."
