BAN ON CREAM SALES
EFFECT ON CITY MILK SUPPLY SERIOUS PROBLEM ARISES (P.A.) AUCKLAND, Nov. 15. A conference of dairying interests convened by the Auckland Metropolitan Milk Council to discuss the problems created by the restrictions on the sale of cream to-day decided to set up a committee to investigate the matter fully and report to another meeting. The chairman of the council (Mr I. J. Goldstine) said a serious problem had arisen over rationing. The Minister of Agriculture, Mr B. Roberts, had been advised of the position. The council had to consider the interests of producers, vendors, and consumers, and he believed the problem would become New Zealand-wide.
A producer stated that long before butter rationing came into force the producers were regarding the town supply with disfavour, and the restriction on cream selling was the ( last straw.
Mr W. Marshall, representing the New Zealand Co-operative Dairy Company, said a crisis had been precipitated, and if the producers were to have a further loss it would be necessary to consider whether they could continue to provide town supplies. Adjustments would have to be made to preserve the flow of milk to the city, and a solution of the situation in the Dominion would present difficult problems.
