COST OF LIVING COMMISSION.

TELEGRAMS.

EVIDENCE OE LITTLE VALUE. [PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.—COPYRIGHT _ AUCKLAND, Juno 23. Before the Cost of Living Commission to-day, Cornelius Taylor, formerly a milk dealer, explained that in his evidence of the. previous day he had meant to say that one and a half pints per family per day was the average used, not one and a half pints per head as reported. This, he again emphasised, was a national peril. Alexander Boss, a farmer of Waikato, said ho had farmed for nearly thirty years, and up to three years ago he had been dairy farming, but, owing to the scarcity of labour he new found it better to go in for beef raising.
