Ward had been appointed assistant manager of the City Council's milk distribution system, and would take up-his duties' forthwith. The salary is £500 per annum. Mr. Norwood said that the committee was of the opinion that it had been fortunate in securing one in whom the public would have every confidence, as he was a' man used to responsibility, and knew the milk trade from A to Z. Mr. Ward was formerly a dairy and stock inspector in the Agricultural Department, and left tho Public Service in 1912 to become manager of the Wellington Dairy Farmers' Association at the Hutt, which had much to owe to Mr. I Ward for its success.

When tho council advertised for a manager at the time it intended to handle tho city's milk at the little brick ehed near the Thorndon railway station, ten months ago, , Mr. Ward'was an applicant for the position allotted to Mr. Oliver (who has been retained in the council's service ever since). <
