A Wellington cablegram reports a partial municipalisation attempt of the city milk supply failing on day one. Vendors could not access the city clearing station leaving many without milk while the plan was suspended, amid debates on expanding municipal enterprise and direct consumer fish sales discussions.
An analysis of Prahran City Council's experiments shows municipal control over utilities often costs more and faces market hurdles. Quarries and street cleansing illustrate how, despite initial gains, costs rose and contracting proved cheaper. The piece argues safe socialism struggles against wholesale and retail market dynamics, favoring private enterprise.
