AVOIDING MEAT SHORTAGE
EXPORT STOCKS RELEASED NORMAL PRICE LEVEL MINISTER’S ACTION (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. Certain supplies of meat awaiting shipment to the United Kingdom are to be released to the local market with a view to assisting families with their next budget, according to a statement made last night by the Minister of Supply, the Hon. D. G. Sullivan. “Fat stock for local consumption is in short supply, as is not unusual at this time of the year,” said the Minister. “With normal supplies short, it is unprofitable to sell at the existing retail prices. To meet the shortage, it has been decided to release some supplies at present awaiting shipment to the United Kingdom. With this addition, the price of meat should remain at normal reasonable levels.”
