The following reply has been received :— " Sib,— with reference to your letter of 23rd ulto. coveringLpetitions nrging a reduction iri%ne milk rate to factories, this request comes somewhat; as -a surprise,? aY t&o{ ¥»W $an excessively low one, and the empties are returned free. It will no doubt be within your remembrance that it is no. tinmen more than a year since the Government maie this low rate, after careful enquiries throughout the colony, while, in addition totaling i a low rate for the milk, the export; ratS lor cheese from the factories was a/sp , much reduced, with the object of ad/kneing'the dairy industry. The reduction is as great as the Government can at present see ita way to make, and I regret being unable^ to comply with the request /or further l%*6&— cessions.— l have the honor to be, etc, r Edward Bichaedson," Minister fo* Public Works."
