1369. By Mr HARRISON: Have there been any complaints in your centre about favouritism?—No. The only man who got harshly dealt with was the chairman, and he suffered a fair amount of docking. 1370. Are your members satisfied with the present method of dockage?—No. 1371. What is your idea with regard to the present system of dockage?—We are certainly dissatisfied with the system instituted by the Scheme; we are of opinion it was not sufficiently uniform. We have one grievance in regard to dockage, and it was that wheat docked up to 6d. went into the ordinary stack. We were of the opinion that we were not too fairly dealt with. 1372. Have your shareholders considered what might be a fairer method of dockage?—Many have gone into that question, but I am not in a position to let you know the result. 1373. Do you believe in dockage at all?—Unless we had a market for the inferior wheat we could not approach it, but if the market had been clear and the Scheme was in the position to accept or reject wheat and give is the right to put the rejected wheat on the market, I would say we would favour it. 1374. The docked wheat brings down the average of 1375. 1376. 1377. 1378. 1379. 1380. 1381. 1382. 1383. 1384. 1385. 1386. 1387. 1388. 1389. 1390. 1391. 1392. 1393. 1394. 1395. 1396. 1397. 1398. 1399. 1400. 1401. 1402. 1403. 1404. 1405. 1406. 1407. 1408. 1409. 1410. 1411. 1412. 1413. 1414. 1415. 1416.
