AUCKLAND MILK PRICES
(By Telegraph—l'ress Association.)
AUCKLAND, July 29
There is to be no increase in the price of milk to the public, although the Milk Council decided, after a long discussion in committee, to fix the dairyman's average margin for 12 months at a halfpenny a gallon more than it has been in the past.
For the four winter months in 1939 the farmer will receive -12Jd ai gallon instead of lid as he now does, but in the eight months between September 1 next and April 30, 1939, he will receive only IOJd, the same as he has hitherto. The price of milk will still be 6d a quart for loose milk in ordinary areas, 5Jd a quart in zoned areas, and an extra £d in both instances for bottled milk.
