On October 24th, 1952, the Board granted permission to all distributors in the Greater Victoria area to use the square 48-mm. milk-bottles and aluminium hood-type caps. Effective January 14th, 1953, this permission was extended to include any form of hood or hood-cap manufactured for use on milk-bottles.

On April 7th the Board commenced a hearing in the Court-house, Vancouver, to deal with this application. Decision of the Board, rendered on September 19th, was that public convenience and necessity did not, at that time, require Lucerne Milk Company to operate the proposed plant, and the issue of the certificate as prayed for was therefore refused.
