NORTH SHORE MILK

MR. LYON'S PROPOSAL PLAN TO ACT AS VENDOR PROTEST AGAINST METHODS As a protest against the conveyance of milk from Auckland to the North Shore for distribution in competition | with North Shore suppliers Mr. W. J. j J,you, M.l\ for Wuitcmata, last week , made arrangements ior selling milk under his own name so that he might ho prosecuted and thus have the position fully ventilated. In a statement on Saturday, however, -Mr. Lyon said lie did not now intend to take this course, as the cause of his complaint had been removed. Mr. Lyon's statement was subsequently denied by the chairman 01 the Auckland Metropolitan Milk Council, -Mr. G. \Y. Hutchison. While not opposing the principle ol zoning, Mr. Lyon objected to the lacl that a city company was able to take milk across the harbour lor North Shoie supply when the farmers of the North Shore could supply the milk. If the position was not altered he intended to become an illegal vendor anil to ha\e himself prosecuted. Mr Lvon said on Saturday that action by' the Milk Council had removed the cause of his complaint. Jhe council had agreed that the Auckland company concerned should sell out to the other vendors 011 the North Shore so that the district would supply its own requirements. It was now for the people on the North Shore to ensure that the supply was maintained on a basis sinnlar to that prior to the intervention of the Auckland company, Mr. Lyon added. A denial that the Milk Council had agreed to allow the Auckland company to sell out to North Shore vendors was tissued last night by Mr. Hutchison. ! who said the council's solicitors had I already been instructed to proceed ' against Mr. Lyon if they were furnished i with evidence of a breach. I "If the Auckland Milk Company ■ oilers its North Shore milk round to I the council —and I have not yet learned ; that it has—at a price that the council considers reasonable, the gallonagc ! would, following the usual procedure, ; be divided among the local vendors in I the most equitable manner possible, I said Mr. Hutchison. "But if the council declined to acquire the round the AuekI land Milk Company would be free to bcII ! to whomever it pleased at a price not ; less than that at which the round was | offered to the council. _ "Had the council secured its amend- ' ment last session it could have con- ! trolled the source of supply for any disi tributors, but under the existing legis- | lation it has no power to direct that a ! company vending in Devon port shall not bring its milk from the city side, said i Mr Hutchison. "Tn fact, T believe milk ! has been taken across the harbour every dav for many years and accommodating supplies are regularly taken across in periods of shortage on the North Shore."
