been reinstated at December 31st. There was not any licence in any class cancelled

SUMMARY OF APPLICATIONS RECEIVED AND ORDERS ISSUED
Under date of February 2nd, an application was received from primary producers
for an increase in rates received for milk supplied in the Courtenay-Campbell River area.
The Board decided this application would not be heard or acted upon at that time.
Order No. 37.—Order No. 37 (approved by Order in Council No. 871) was issued
to become effective in the Vancouver area on April 21st. This Order (1) rescinded
Interim Order No. I, which became effective on October 16th, 1951; (2) confirmed the
rates established for home-delivered milk in Interim Order No. I; (3) reduced the rates
established for business establishments in Interim Order No. I by 4 cents a gallon and
1 cent a quart on sales of standard and special milk only, with the provisions that milk
in quart bottles might be resold to the public at 1 cent below the home-delivered rates;
and (4) established minimum loads to be carried by vehicles operated for the purpose
of delivering milk to retail customers in their homes or to stores or other business establishments for resale to the public.
An application was received from milk-dealers operating in the Greater Victoria
area for permission to institute six-day (no Sunday) delivery of milk to retail customers
at their homes, effective on and from October 12th. Board permission in this connection
was granted.
Under date of October 6th, application was received from the Vancouver Island
Dairymen's Association to have Milk Board jurisdiction extended to cover all areas on
Vancouver Island. This application was supported by a further application from dairymen in the Alberni, Qualicum, Parksville, and Nanoose districts on Vancouver Island to
have their areas brought under Board control. Interim Order No. II was issued to become
effective on November 24th. This interim order extended the boundaries of Duncan area
to include the Shawnigan Lake and Cowichan Lake districts. The Board also decided
that, as soon as practical, hearings would be held in the uncontrolled areas on Vancouver
Island to deal with these applications.
Under date of October 20th, an application was received from the Victoria Pasteurized Milk Distributers' Association for permission to use square 48-mm. milk-bottles
and aluminium caps.   Board permission in this connection was granted.
Under date of November 10th, an application was received from certain milk-dealers
in the Vancouver area for permission to institute six-day (no Sunday) delivery of milk
to retail customers at their homes, effective February 1st, 1953, and also for permission
to adopt use of the square 48-mm. milk-bottle on that date. Board permission in this
connection was granted. REPORT OF THE MILK BOARD,  1952
