May it please Your Honour:
Sir,—I have the honour to transmit herewith, in accordance with section 67 of the
" Public Utilities Act," the Fifth Annual Report of th» Milk Board under that Act for
the year ended December 31st, 1950.

Vancouver, B.C., February 10th, 1951.  Fifth Annual Report of the Milk Board
For the Year Ended December 31st, 1950
Many problems in the production and distribution of milk developed during the
year. These were caused largely by increasing costs of labour, feeds, supplies, and
equipment. The Board, therefore, had to deal with the matter of adjustments in both
producer and consumer rates in addition to taking care of routine administrative matters.
Tables giving up-to-date statistical information relative to sales of fresh fluid dairy
products, similar to that given in last year's Report, are appended hereto.
AREAS UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE MILK BOARD
The Board did not extend its jurisdiction to any new areas during the year. The
four controlled areas within the Province are the Greater Victoria, Vancouver, Duncan,
and Nanaimo areas.
BOARD MEETINGS
The Board held seven public hearings during the year, as follows: Kelowna, May
16th; Penticton, May 17th; Vancouver, August 14th to 17th and October 20th; Victoria,
November 13th; Duncan, November 14th; Nanaimo, November 15th; Courtenay,
November 16th.
Three hearings were also held to deal with specific applications or complaints.
The first was at Vancouver on April 20th, and continued on May 5th; the second at
Vancouver on September 8th; and the third at Duncan on October 4th. In addition,
thirty-seven meetings of the Board were held in its office to deal with matters of policy
and administration. Complete minutes of all meetings are recorded in the minute-book
of the Board. Throughout the year, numerous conferences were also held with primary
producers, producer-distributers, milk-dealers, and others, in both controlled and uncontrolled areas, to discuss various matters pertaining to the production, supply, distribution,
;ind sale of milk.
