CITY MILK SUPPLY
AUCKLAND DISCUSSION (P.A.) Auckland, Nov. 15. A conference of dairying interests convened by the Auckland Metropolitan’Milk Council to discuss problems created by restrictions on the sale of cream to-day decided to set up a committee to investigate the matter fully and report to another meeting. Tne chairman of the Council, Mr. I. J. Goldstine, said a serious problem had arisen over rationing. The Minister of Agriculture had been advised of the position. The Council had to consider the interests of the producers, vendors and consumers, and he believed the problem would become New Zealand-yvide.
A producer stated that long before butter rationing came into force producers were regarding the town supply with disfavour, and the latest restrictions on cream selling provided the last straw.
Mr. W. Marshall, representing the New Zealand Co-operative Dairy Company said a crisis had been precipitated and if the producers were to have further loss it would be necessary to consider whether they could continue on the town supply. Adjustments would have to be made to preserve the flow of milk to the city, and a solution of the situation in the Dominion would present difficult problems.
