CITY MILK.
SHOULD THE CORPORATION BUY
FARMS?.
The milk question was mentioned bjri the Mayor 1 of Wellington in his address to the new City Council on Wednesday (says the "N.Z. Times"). Mr Luke said that the milk enterprise had presentcd tremendous difficulties, but the council would not stop until it had made a complete success of .the thing. The milk committee was well established, and the members had given their whole time to the work. The'time was fast drawing near when the council would need to buy its own farm and produce its own milk. The farm question should be gone into when the existing obstacles had been overcome. Cr. L. Mc'Kenzie, who has been about the country a good deal on milk committee business, said that the drought would cause milk to be very scarce this winter.
Cr. P. Eraser thought that farms, as mentioned by the Mayor, should be obtained, "both from the point of view of efficiency and of health." There was nothing Utopian about the scheme.
