Meetings of representatives of different companies in tho central Waikato area had been held, and negotiations had been proceeding with a view to bringing about an amicable zoning arrangement in relation to the supplies of the co-operative and . proprietary companies operating in tho Tho represeatatives of the companies concerned were required to report the result of their deliberations before the commission to their respective diretorates, aDd further conferences with the commission would be held later.
