ZONING POLICY

CHAIRMAN’S COMMENTI COMPANY’S POSITION EXPLAINED. 1 “Much of the time of your directors ! and officials has been devoted to Ihe zoning problem during the past season," com icnled Mr R. H. McKenzie in his address to tire suppliers today. “Following the policy of the Executive Commission of Agriculture of eliminating proprietary dairy companies, all such in the Auckland province have been absorbed by the co- | operative dairy companies operating in the areas from which these collected cream. The basis for the apportionment of this supply was agreed upon by the majority of the co-operative companies concerned by giving to the supplier Ihc option of supplying I lie nearest or next nearest factory to his farm with Ihe added elasticity of where two factories are within seven miles of each other they should count as one. This arrangement should give all suppliers a reasonable choice without affecting detrimentally any factories in the Waikato. Matters; have not been completely finalised in j this connection but it is Imped will bt* cleared up before tlie end of tin* present month. “The realisation of the assets of the Tauplri branch of the Taupiri Dairy Company's business is practically completed. The Waikato Valley Company's plant lias been mostly disposed of, but Ihc property Is still on hand. The bulk of the realisation work of these two companies lias devolved on our company as it is situated in the best position for llie purFurther Purchases. “Besides the transaction above re- ' ferred lo your company has purchased Hie butter making part of Ainbury’s business. We have agreed with the Kaipara Dairy Company upon a boundary line between our respective companies. This involved a moderate exchange of supply and some friction on the part of our Silverdale suppliers who resented their severance from Mount Eden factory which gave them a connection with Auckland city. This wc anticipate will soon die down. Lately, we have purchased llu* knpa Compan>. operating on tile West Loasl. This factory will be dismantled The industry has been fortunate in Ihe personnel of Ihe Executive Com - mission of Agriculture," be added. All appearing before it have been ' Iroaled \m|Ji invariable courlesv. The ! chairman. Sir Francis Frazer, is lb. essence of lad; bis patience is appar- ; i iilly inexhaus!able and Hie maimer | ; in which lie grasps the salient points under discussion, remarkable.” \
