Differentiation In Northland Cartage
[Special to "Northern Advocate”! AUCKLAND, This Day.
A remit carried at the Auckland Provincial Conference of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union yesterday stated: “It is considered unjust that a differentiation is made between well-to-do farmers, farming companies and small farmers in the Northland cartage schedule.”
The remit urged that groups of farmers who combined their transport requirements should be permitted to make their own contracts with any carrier they chose. If their business was worth more than £2O a year they should be further allowed to make contracts for one year.
The conference decided to recommend to the Dominion Conference that Messrs. J. W. Jones (Bay of Islands) and H. G. Mellsop should be made life _ members. Officers Elected
The election of officers resulted: President, Mr. H. M. Rushworth (unopposed); vice-presidents, Messrs. J. H. Furniss, A. C. Sexton; honorary treasurer, Mr A. McConaughy; executive, Messrs. A; H. Blackmore, Scott-David-son, A. C. Harrison, H. Mason, B. A. Moore; group delegates to Dominion executive, Messrs. R. R. Blade, J. H. Furniss, A. C. Sexton, H. M. Rushworth; delegates to the Dominion Conference, Messrs. E. R. Blade, A. E. Bryant, R. C. Clark, C. B. Michie, A. McConaughy, A. B. Moore, A. E. Robinson. ’ i •' '
