CHAOTIC TRANSPORT CONDITIONS
Cartage Of Live Stock (P.A.) WELLINGTON, Feb. 18. The New Zealand Road Transport Alliance, at a special meeting to-day, discussed developments in live stock caitage throughout the Dominion. Vigorous complaint was made that the Minister of Agriculture had usurped the functions of the Minister of Transport in directing the operation of the road transport system by his interference in live stock transport. A strong protest was expressed in a resolution deploring the chaotic conditions that had been created in the stock transport industry by the intervention and control imposed upon the industry by outside interests, which apparently had been approved by representatives of the Government without, so far as the industry was aware, reference to the Minister and the Department of Transport or to the transport Industry.
