AUCKLAND MILK SUPPLIES

APPOINTMENT OF COUNCIL MADE. ANNOUNCEMENT pF PERSONNEL. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, Feb. 7. The Minister of Industries and Commerce, Mr. R. Masters, to-day announced the personnel of the first Auckland Metropolitan Milk Council. Members include the Mayor, Mr. G. W. Hutchison, to represent the city council, and two to represent other local bodies within the district. Two are to be milk vendors’ representatives and two dairymen’s representatives. < Mr. Masters expressed the hope that the council would be the means of securing to producers and vendors a remunerative price and to consumers a reasonable price. It was hoped by the organisation to provide a more economic distribution system and so reduce costs, so that a fair wage could be paid to workers in the industry. The council will have the sole right to issue licenses to milk vendors trading in the metropolitan area and to fix prices. It has no power to strike a rate, but will derive its revenue from levies on milk vendors and from license and other fees. /
