ADVANCE MARLBOROUGH.
(Per Press Association.) tfUENHEIM, July 15. The net result of a public meeting held at Blenheim in connection with Air It. JT. Counter’s shipping scheme, was that after a very free and full discussion the Farmers’ Union, which has been aiming at the establishment of ■ a farmer-owned ■line of vessels to ship away Marlborough produce at reasonable freight, and the Chamber of Commerce, which is aiming at an improved passenger service between Picton and Wellington, joined forces, and will make inquiries with a view to bringing down a combined scheme catering for a fast passenger service across the Straits and for cargo carriage at freights controlled locally. After full discussion it was resolved that the matter of shipping for Marlborough be deferred until after the Chamber of Commerce had met the Union Company and conferred with the Farmers’ Union sub-com-mittee, when the matter should again be brought before the public of Marlborough.
