STORE LAMBS

CARTAGE TO BE ALLOWED GOODS TRANSPORT COMMITTEE REVERSES DECISION. ECONOMIC LOSS FROM DROVING ANIMALS. A decision to allow store lamb cartage for distances over nine miles until February 28, 1943, was made by the Masterton Goods Transport Control Committee at a meeting held last night. Mr R. A. Taylor presided. This decision reverses a previous one to the effect that there would be no cartage of store lambs, made in accordance with a request from the Minister concerned that every possible step must be taken to conserve tires and petrol. In view of the economic loss involved in driving store lambs, it was urged, especially by farmers’ representatives, that these lambs should be transported by lorry. It was' stated that lambs so driven took about three weeks to recover their condition, owing to lack of water in holding paddocks, inadequate accommodation en route and generally to the dryness of the season. It was also decided, in view of the fact that the cartage of store lambs was being permitted, that as the tires on local operators’ lorries were in a badly worn condition and in some instances they were operating without spares, the committee recommended consideration of the immediate release by the Tire Controller of further supplies of tires.
