THE PEOPLE'S RAILWAYS.
AND THE BUTTER FACTORIES. The Manager of the Masterton Dairy Factory has been advised that t-.e Railway Trafilc Manager will not guarantee to provide insulated trucks for the carriage of butter for le;?s than three ton.". When less than this quantity is sent ; it will have to take its chance of having other goods put into the same truck, or it will be sent in ordinary trucks. For three-ton parcels and upwards insulated trucks will be supplied. This means the local factory, which is turning out about half a ton daily, can only ship their butter once a week to the Wellington Cool Stores, there to await shipment. The capacity for cool storage at the Masterton factory is only about sufficient for storing butter for the local trade, and the new regulations ' will put the factory to some 'lnconvenience. This applies equally to iviauriceville and other butter factories. || ,
It may be possible for factories affected to arrange with the railway people to collect the butter at the depots along the line, wJ-ere the lota to be tent are below the mini-
mum. The National Dairy Association, with its headquarters in Wellington, should be utilised in this direction.
