“The proper supervision of the distribution and production of milk, under purely clean and wholesome conditions, can only be obtained by the nationalisation of the industry,” said Mr G. Saunders, secretary, of the Milk and Ice Carters and Dairymen’s Employers’ Union, in evidence before the Food Commissioner (Mr T. R. Bavin) in Sydney. The neglect of cleanliness, he added, both by employer and employee, was more apparent in the country than in the metropolitan area. Municipalisation of the industry opened avenues for corruption, but this was not so in respect to nationalisation. Depots should be established for supplying milk to the needy sick at the public expense. At present the Sussex street merchants controlled the price of fodder, and this increased the cost of production. One of the results of nationalisation of the industry would be that there would be no manipulation by the middleman of the fodder market. By organising distribution of milk and avoiding overlapping of runs 20 per cent, could be saved on the cost, or a penny a quart.
