CITY COUNCIL AND MILK.

VENDORS' VIEWS. Dissatisfaction with the Christchurch City Council's attitude in regard to its dealings with the milk vendors of the City was expressed at the annual meeting of the Sealed Bottle Milk Vendors' Association held yesterday. In a review of the year's work the annual report of the Association said: "Your committee approached the City Council Milk Supply Committee, with a request that that committee should set a standard for high grade milk. The deputation from your Association received a most courteous hearing, together with the promise that the committee would go into the matter, since when, nothing further has been heard from the Council's Milk Supply Committee on the subject. The chairman (Mr E. W. Sanson) said he was led to believe that the City Council had only one object in view, and was not sincere in its expression of a'wish to help the vendors in raising the standard of milk. "The Council is after municipal control," he said, "and that is its only object. Our laboratory ib a heavy burden on the vendors, and the public should pay for it. The laboratory is for the, benefit of the public."
