ROYAL OAK CHEESE FACTORY.

ANNUAL MEETING. The annual meeting of suppliers of the Royal Oak Cheese Factory. Omata, was held in the Omata Hall on Tuesday evening, Mr. S. Vickers presiding. The annual report stated that in

spite of the fact that the Government took one-third of the output for the season at 7>/.d the suppliers had been paid Is Id per lb for butter-fat for the w'-hole period, and a further payment of Id*per lb was being made, which would absorb £307. There were still 3fio crates of cheese for whicn no account sales had been received, and as the Home market was good when these shipments arrived the committee hoped that the results would be such as to allow a still further payment of Id. The report was adopted. A committee of five to conduct tlie business of the factory during the ensuing year was elected, namely, Messrs S. Vickers, J. A. Kurth, Wi H. Ad'um, F. E. Morris, and E. R.
