make one delivery and thereby save on gaso line the problem of help was also one with him when he was now obliged to deliver from early morning until night mr watson told of a conversation with the milk inspector in which he suggested the dairies approach the council with a view to passing a by law if night delivery was permitted to go on he would have to continue two deliveries to meet the desires of customers they had been asked to conserve gasoline and regulation of hours would do this quite a dlsruu- slon ensued with mr murray and the council in which manv arguments were injected
