MEAT PRICES
Sir, —In Monday’s issue of your paper you printed a price list for certain cuts of meat. For a. long time now the price of our daily wee piece of meat has been really worrying me, so you can imagine how. joyously I pounced on your list. This morning the butcher dashed my fond hopes by telling me. that you had printed last year’s list of prices, and. that the cost of meat had risen considerably since then. If.this is so your action in printing the list was hardly fair to the butchers and positively unkind to the housewives of Whakatane. Yours etc., HOUSEWIFE.
The order from which we quoted (Price Order No. 965) came into force on February 1, 1949. It provided for certain prices up to June 30, a slightly higher scale during the month of July, and another during August. We quoted the July figures. If it has been revoked and replaced, your butcher will no doubt be pleased to show you a copy of the new order, and we shall be happy to publish the revised list when it comes to hand officially. Editor.
