The matter was brought up by Mr J. F. Neal, who pointed out that the works, being chock full, were closed down about a week before Enster, and only about 10,000 to 12,000 carcases had been taken away by the Port Napier, which wats at Picton a few days ago. Even with a moderate rate of killing the works would be, filled up again in a fortnight. This was not a pleasant outlook, as the Marlborough farmers had a larger number of sheep awaiting freezing, and if the necessary space was not available many thousands k of sheep would, be left on their hands. It was resolved to bring the position under the notice of the Prime Minister. H. H. COOTE, OPTICIAN, 342 LAMBTON QUAY, WELLINGTON. ,
