1000. By the CHAIRMAN : But that was a matter in which you were specially interested at the time. You say you do not know that Mr Love said the machine was satisfactory, and yet the statement I have read to you appears in those minutes. If you have not read Mr Love's statement in regard to that matter, you cannot have read the minutes?—Yes, I can; excuse me. Whilst the information contained in those minutes would be embedded in my memory, the name of the man who made the state probably might not. | 1000.

You were so satisfied, that you committee took into consideration the advisability, or otherwise, of purchasing a sterilising plant?—Yes. But I do not think we decided what kind we were to purchase. I understand we deferred that matter until Mr Pearse, our engineering member, could go into the question and advise is which kind would be most suitable for our conditions. I have no doubt that these sterilising plats are effective, but the difficulty, as shown by the minutes, is not the efficiency of the machine, but the capacity of the machine. |

The Board requested that a wire be sent to the Minister to this effect, and also that if possible a portable machine procured"?—That was a long time ago. |

Mr Pearse had been to Sydney looking at various machines there, and we had learnt about this Adelaide machine which we were wanting him to see so that he could advise is which was the best machine. |
