MILK SHORTAGE
NONE FOR SCHOOLS POSITION IN WELLINGTON DOMESTIC SUPPLY OUTLOOK [BY TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION] WELLINGTON. Friday No milk had been supplied to schoolchildren in the Wellington district for a week, and there was no prospect of any supply being arranged at present, said Mr. L. W. McKenzie, chairman of the City Council Milk Committee to-night. At present there was sufficient milk for domestic requirements, in spite of the greatly increased demand. The supply last year was at its lowest during the week ending July 16. There might bo a shortage of milk for a few days this year, but it was not expected. The council had tried every available source to get further supplies of milk, but had been unsuccessful. Supplies were being drawn from as far away as Featherston, Grevtown, Ohau and Levin.. An endeavour had been made to get milk from Palmerston North, but there was as great a shortage there as in Wellington.
