central man ager krn hyde addressed council reeve stan allen said the transfer was not proper because there 11 no record of council approval a search of the minute book revealed no mo tlon had been passed and there was some discussion whether a motion had ever been made a majority op inion was that perhaps the motion had been neglected and only verbal approval had been given for the trans action which involved an exchange of property between compan and town to the mutual benefit of both the reeve insisted that the discus aiona had made no mention of a right of way mr hyde said his company which employs is men at present cannot op erate without the rightof way which allows access to the gravel pit for their trucks it is not the company s intention to cause sny inconvenience to the town but he did feel that in dustrles in the past have received every consideration and often concea sions from councils and he hopes for ihc same treatment council decided to view the proper ty as a body on saturday afternoon to seek a solution which will allow the disposal property to be fenced off and still not block heavers access to their pita another outcome of the discussion was a motion which in future will require a by law to be passed when there is any transfer of interest in town property solicitor george hew eon suggested this as a protection to all parties in any such transactions

increase in the cost of doing work by hand hence the move by the distri bulors towards bulk hauling as ue interpreted dr hows re marks most of the advantages of bulk hauling would appear to be from the milk distributors standpoint he sta ted there is no evidence of a higher butter fst test resulting from bulk hauling according to their survey the overhead from the standpoint of the eight can shipper is approximate ly ten cents per can more in the case of the 3 can shipper the over head amounts to about 23 cents more per csn while the bulk tsnk does offer the posibihty of producing a higher qua lity of product comments of mr me corquodale check tester with the toronto asocialion and others would indicate that the quality of the pro duct produced still depended on the calibre of the shipper rather than on whether he had a bulk tank or ship ped by csn wm wilmott secretary manager of the toronto association said that while consumption is up six per cent production has jumped 10 or 12 per cent he further stated that while the 1025 base totalled around 35 mil lion pounds the last two weeks ot august saw 43 million pounds belhft shipped daily into the toronto mar ket the same

in the case of one large distributor at least 15c more per cwt is being offered for secondary milk amalgamation of the surplus milk plant with thctoronto milk produc ers association under one manage
