New Ply mouth, May 4. At a meeting of the Taranaki Producers’ Company it was decided to take up £25,000 worth of shares in the Taranaki Farmers’ Meat Company on the undertaking of the latter to erect additional- storage accommodation at Smart Road.

Mr Arthur Morton (chairman) pointed out that when things were normal the proposed additional buildings'- at the Moturoa Works would be u.nremunerative, whereas the meat could put them to very profitable use, besides which the great bulk of shareholders in the meat works were dairymen. The extra space would enable nearly the whole of the season’s butter output to be stored and leave the Moturoa works free to accommodate about 110,000. crates ; of cheese, which, with the accommodation of the factories, would provido for the season’s cheese output.
