MILK ZONING.

I was intrigued to note the editorial comment on letter sijrned "Babv Milk" in your issue yesterday. Therein it is stated that "the council would be only too glad to inquire into, and put right, any complaint in regard to quality or service under zoning." I have written twice to the Milk Council regarding service, but the only satisfaction I can obtain is an assurance that the Government is to be approached to permit the roundsmen to work longer hours, or should I say start earlier than they do at present. Prior to zoning we received"" our inrlk at, say. 6.40 a.m. To-day ftp' varies between "7.50 and 8.10 a.m. "and on Sundays as late as 8.40 a.m. This is no fault of the roundsman—who is one of the hardest-working fellows I know—he literally runs on the job. The fact is that whereas he, or his companv, originally supplied about 40 gallons miik per diem in this district, to-day they supply well over 50 gallons—which mean* another 80 to 100 deliveries. Is it fair to have to wait until nearly eight o'clock in the morning for fresh muk? Here is a chance for the council to make good their promise to put right a complaint re service. HOWAPJ) •RTTXHTro
