The conditions to be laid down will include examination to ensure that the herds are free from tuberculosis; that the dairy arrangements are satisfactory in every respect, and that the milk shall be delivered at the institution on the same day as milked. Complaints have been made repeatedly in the past, stated the report of the Finance Committee to the b6ard to-day, that notice has not been given sufficient to enable dairymen to arrange their herds so as to be able to compete for the board’s milk contract, and it is proposed to call for tenders immediately, inviting a two years’ supply to all the institutions. “Two years is not enough time to give people a chance to get a good herd of cattle.” said Mr J. K. Archer, to which Mr W. J. Walter added that the contract should be extended to five years, in order to encourage good herds. The chairman (Mr li. J. Otley) : Tne value of milk and the value of money may change before the contract has expired. A motion that the terms of the contract be three years was carried.
