INCREASE ON RAILWAYS “FREEZING WORKS PENALISED.” Per Press Association. FETLDING, July 21. The Feilding Chamber of Commerce last night considered the amended railway tariff, special attention being given the proposed increase in the charge for the carriage of frozen meat, which would penalise inland freezing works. The-following motion j«as carried; “This chamber desires to point out’to tho Railway Board that tho proposed increase in the rate for the carriage of frozen meat will have a disastrous effect on the Feilding Freezing Works and other ’ works similarly established in country districts. The chamber, therefore, urgts that no increase be made in the present charges.” The chamber also discussed the proposed increase in the rate for the carriage of chaff, and adopted a resolution, “That the proposed increase will be detrimental to the interests of farmers in this district, who are now barely able to compete against importations from Australia and Auckland.”
