PRIVATE ENTERPRISE
INTERFERENCE BY STATE SUPPORT FOR PROTEST [ Special “Chronicle” Service. 1 AUCKLAND, June 26. Consequent upon a decision made at a meeting of business men in Auckland recently, when Mr J. B. Mac Ewan and Mr Stronach Paterson sought to enlist support in protesting against competition by State and municipal authorities to the detriment of private enterprise, efforts are being made to form a local committee. It is claimed that State and municipal activities have prejudiced private enterprise in the case of banks, insurance companies, saw millers, motor transport interests, dairy produce exporters, nurserymen, timber growers, freezing companies, kauri gum shippers, milk vendors, retail booksellers and other retailers. It is contended that in cases where the activities could not be discontinued immediately, the state and municipaly-conductod concerns should be subject to the same taxation and other conditions as are those conducted by private interests. Mr Charles Rhodes, who, with Mr H. T. Merritt, of the Auckland Chamber of Commerce, is endeavouring to form a local organisation, states that a list has been drawn up and it is hoped to obtain the active support of a representative body of business men.
