SALE OF FOODS
MANUFACTURERS* RESPONSIW BILITY Press Association - - WELLINGTON, To-day. At the closing session of the Associated Chambers of Commerce to-day Mr. Roseveare (Invercargill) moved that manufacturers only of goods under tiie Pure Foods Act be held responsible for the standard of their £oods, and that all prosecutions be instituted against manufacturers, and not against retailers. This was criticised on the ground that many goods deteridrated owing to the way in which they were stored by retailers and others. F'urther, though good in theory, the proposal was impracticable as many manufacturers were firms abroad. The remit was referred to the executive with power to act, in conjunction with the Health Department. A Canterbury remit was carried, which has as its aim legislation to enable charters to be granted to incorporated land banks or similar institutions, somewhat on the lines of the Joint stock land banks in the United States.
