"In our opinion," sa ; d Mi Harkness, Secretary of the National DairyAssociation to a representative of the Post, "the time has arrived when the points allotted in grading butter should be raised from the present total; ■«* of 88 to a minimum of 90 or 91 for - the first-class article. There is no doubt that the complaints from the Old Country may be partly due to the losses sustained by importersthrough a fall in prices; but at the same time there is some ground for condemnation, for the simple reason that butter of different brands storedi in the colony since last April and May when required for distribution' has, after defrostration, been found! to be of an inferior quality. ' The: cause of deterioration is difficult to assign. It may be that the makers; are putting too much moisture into their butter, and as proof that there is something in this contention, we know that the department under Mr Cuddie, the Chief Dairy Commissioner, is taking steps to< have a very 1 large percentage of thebrands for export analysed at intervals to find hew much water they really contain."

The muni jjalities received large sums from the State, and had large revenuer, and all they gave to charities for 1905-6 was £10,715. The amount was ridiculous. There were seme people who advocated the introduction of a Charities Bill; expressed ftar that if a muni tipal tax of Id or l£d in the £ were imposed there would be a considerable falling-off on private contributions.

He had proposed to tax football, theatres and racing. When men were injured on the football field or racecourse they were taken to the hospital.
