MARKETING BILL.
CONCERN EXPRESSED. Per Press Association. DUNEDIN, Dec. 8. The Dunedin Chamber of Commerce to-night passed a resolution expressing concern at the provisions of the Primary Markets Amendment Bill and expressing the view that it was doubtful if the industries concerned would reap benefits commensurate with the cost of the scheme. In the opinion of the chamber, the Government control of'the majority of foodstuffs was impracticable and for that reason the marketing of these products was safer in private hands. The chamber finally expressed alarm at this fresh evidence of ; Government encroachment .on private enterprise and considered that individual effort should not be robbed of initiative and personal interest in producing and marketing.
