At the Dairy .Board's ward confer- ( cnee in Palmerston North, yesterday, ] Mr D. Stent (lor the Taihape Dairy I Company) moved the following remit: That the Government be requested to empower dairy companies to charge an additional penny per pound on all butter sold locally on credit, such additional charge to be deducted as discount from all accounts paid in fid! during the month following delivery of the butter. Mr C. H. Courtney (secretary of the Dairy Produce Board) i said it had been urged in a motion at the last Dominion con- i ference (to which this remit would i go) that the length of credit be restricted to specified limits. This, how- « ever, had not been put into effect- after enquiries had been made from the factories supplying the local markets. Mr P. B. Desmond and Mr J. Devine said there was already a regulation < governing the point. ‘ On the chairman’s suggestion, the t motion of the last Dominion confer- i once was affirmed, with the addition 1 that late payments be subject to a i penalty of id per pound. 1 •• Mr J- Kyle seconded the remit, ] which was carried. j 1
