CARRIAGE OF BEER
Minister To Confer With Trade Representatives of the liquor trade are to be asked by the Minister of Transport, Mr. Semple, to meet him in conference at an early date to discuss the question of economies in the transportation, of beer. The Minister said at the weekend that it had been suggested that the Government had no power to interfere with the liquor trade, but that was not the case. “We have power to zone every commodity where zoning is necessary,” he said. The beer problem, added the Minister, was now under consideration, and lie proposed to ask representatives te meet him in conference with a view to evolving a scheme to save carriage. If the scheme submitted by the breweries met the position, it would be accepted, but otherwise he would have to take it the whole way. No date had yet been fixed for the conference, which would probably be held in Wellington.
