BUTTER BOXES.
PROTEST AT ENFORCED TYPE. Per Press Association. NEW PLYMOUTH, July 26. “Wo have to pay a fine of threepence a box on each of the boxes we are compelled to use,” said Mr L. E. Hann, chairman of the Stratford Dairy Co., when protesting against the enforced acceptance recently of a large supply of butter-boxes from the makers. A fine was instituted, he said, to discourage the use of inferior boxes when standard containers were available. Now the Government had issued instructions that only the inferior type could be used in view of the shortage of timber, but it had not removed the fine on boxes that had a monopoly.
