The representatives of North Island freezing companies held their animal conference yesterday at the Chamber of Commerce Mr. W. G.

The conference unanimously considered after hearing Dr. Robinson’s report, that very distinct progress was being made in .the desired direction; further, the whole of the North Island companies agreed to act unitedly to ensure the best possible outcome of the efforts to be made along the same lines. Subsequently a meeting of the North Island companies associated for the purpose of having the enquiries made by Dr. Robinson carried out, was held, and it was resolved to make Dr. Robinson’s appointment a permanent one. It was recognised that assistance would be required so as to cover the ground more effectively, and this was also provided for.
