REMIT PASSED AT ANNUAL MEETING
BEE KEEPERS ASK FOR SUBSIDY
The following remit was passed at the annual meeting of the Southland branch of the Bee Keepers’ Association, for submission to the annual conference of the association to be held at Hastings next week: “This branch considers with alarm the apathetic attitude of the Government to our repeated requests for a subsidy equivalent to a remission of the tax on sugar, and in view of the failure of the crop and the absolute necessity of the purchase of sugar to keep stocks alive until the next honey flow, we earnestly request the grant of some measure of relief in this taxation which is a direct tax on the industry and against the avowed policy of the Government.”
