of. Air Spiers remarked that it was regrettable that -so many of the suppliers were absent from this, their annual meeting, which was of so much, importance to -them. Casein business could not he discussed thoroughly owing to their non-attendance. In regard to the drainage of -the factory it was decided that all suppliers to casein be asked to remove whey, to prevent any going down the dram, and * so avoid the obnoxious smell that was experienced last summer-. A suggestion was made by the manager that a drain be cut from the adjoining property to the factory drain, and so enable the washing to get away. . After further consideration, it was proposed by Mr E. T Hancock, seconded by Mr Martin, that a recommendation he made to the N.Z Co-op. Dairy Co. -to have a drain out as the manager suggested. It was also recommended that tne N.Z. Co-op. Dairy Co. send an official out occasionally to take a check sample of all suppliers' milk for analysis of With regard to the receiving of milk at the stage, it was decided -the factory be open from C. 30 a.m. until b. 30. a.m„ after that time factory -to be closed to enable the cream waggon to leave on time.
