“SUPPLY SOMEWHAT DISAPPOINTING”

HOKONUI SHAREHOLDERS ELECT DIRECTORS

At the annual meeting of the Hokonui Co-operative Dairy Factory Co. LtdMr D. Mcßae presided over an attendance of nine shareholders. The. chairman said that the supply had again been somewhat disappointing. The present supplies had continued to support the factory very loyally, but every effort must be made to get extra milk, as the success of the factory depended on a p’entiful supply. He was pleased to say that prospects for the coming season appeared to be brighter’ than they had beer, for some time. In spite of the small tonnage, the pay-out had been most satisfactory and the figure returned had been on a par with that obtained by much larger factories. The company owed a great debt to Mr R. McKissock, the late manager, and the suppliers were very pleased to see him obtaining such well-deserved promotion at Fortrose. The chairman extended a welcome to the new manager, Mr J. Ayres, who, he said he felt sure, would prove a very worthy successor. The three retiring directors, Messrs John Davidson, James Davidson and A. Galt were re-elected for a further term of three years, and at a subsequent meeting of directors Mr Mcßae was reappointed chairman. Mr D. Wildey tvas reappointed auditor.
