Iho recommendation from the annual meeting that the use of tripod hooks on silvery tackle be permitted, was considered and it was decided to call a c-on-ference of representatives from the North Canterbury, South Canterbury, and Waimate Societies, to discuss local fishing regulations in an endeavour to obtain some uniformity especially regarding boundary rivers.

The Department of Internal Affairs advised that a grant of £5 16s from lastyear’s opossum revenue was being male to the Society.

In recognition of his services, especially in connection with the hatchery, it was decided to grant the ranger a bonus of £lO.
