CHEISTCHUECH SCHEME appoinYment of board PETROL CONSERVATION [llY TKLF.GIIAI'Tl —PItKSS ASSOCIATION'] CHRISTC HURCH, Friday Milk vendors in Christchurch have agreed to the setting up of a, Christchurch Milk Delivery Board. The scheme aims at conserving petrol sup-
I>lios - . . A unanimous resolution adopted was that the Oil Fuel Controller should bo requested not to reduce the existing petrol licences until the hoard begins functioning. The existing petrol allocations are subject to 20 per cent reduction on the previous rationing period, compared with the 33 1-3 per cent cut provided for in the regulations.
The personnel of the board, which consists of five members, is the Mayor of Christchurch (chairman), the Licensing Authority for the No. 3 Transport District, a member of the Christchurch City Council, and two members from the milk trade (vendor and producervendor) . The board will be concerned entirely with the transport of milk and its distribution and will have nothing to do with price fixation or pasteurisation. To prevent newcomers entering into competition with existing milk vendors and upsetting any schemes then in operation the hoard may provide that it is unlawful for any person to sell milk within the district except under a licence issued by the board. The proposals also provide that the system shall be in force until revoked or until the repeal of the Emergency Regulations, 1939. or until 12 months after the conclusion of the war, whichever is the sooner.
