PRICE OF BREAD.
EXTRAORDINARILY HIGH. PROTECTION FOR A CLASS. “I think it is scandalous, with wheat rotting all over the world, that bread should be the price it is in a country like New Zealand, and that one class should be protected to enable it to fatten on the land while another starves," remarked Mr W. R. Lowry (Morrlnsville) at a meeting of the Waikato Hospital Board to-day. There was, added the speaker, no reason why bread should ,001 come down in price by half. The Waikato Hospital Board, in common with other hospital boards gave assistance to a largo number of poor people, and they had a right to protest against the high price of bread. A unanimous protest is to be sent to the Minister.
