DAIRY SCHOOL SITE.

Press Association. Palmerston North, March 16, The Premier passed through Palmerston by the express to-day. At the station he was met by a large number of representatives of local organisations and residents who expressed the gratification felt at Palmerston being selected as the site fm the dairy school. The ‘Premier replying said that the Cabinet in arriving at the decision eliminated all offers of land and money and sought to confer in the question of site the greatest benefit upon the dairying community as a whole. Men of experience all the . world over had selected towns as sites for dairy schools ana he thought Palmerston North was especially favourable for the assemblage of the dairying community apart altogether from students at school. The Mauawatu Times’ Levin correspondent states that many Levin citizens are most indignant at the decision of the Cabinet in placing the Dairy School at Palmerston North ; not so much because they think Palmerston unsuitable, but because the school was promised to Levin by the late Mr Seddon long beforil* the matter came into general discussion, and therefore before their sites had been offered.
