WORK TAKEN OVER

1928 COMMITTEE

The chairman of the Nineteen TwentyEight Committee announced in Wellington that in accordance with a resolution adopted at the conference of the Associated Chambers of Commerce in Auckland in October last, instructing the executive to extend its activities and enlarge its central organisation, the Associated Chambers would take over from the beginning of the New Year the functions hitherto discharged by the Nineteen Twenty-Eight Committee. The committee had always felt that the Associated Chamber was the proper authority to undertake this work, and now that it had made arrangements towards this end the committee would cease its operations and its members would give what assistance they could to the new organisation. The Nineteen Twenty-Eight Committee was formed in March! 1828, for the. purpose of combating unfair (iijvcvntnent interference with private business and the inequitable privileges extended to .State 'and. public body trading concerns competing with private enterprise. It had achieved a very considerable measure of success during its campaign, and would! pass oil ,to its successor a large amount of experience arid su.hsi.auv,in.l evidence of .the-progrcssitjhad m«dp.
