THAT RABBIT FENCE.
"THERE IS MORE INT IT THAN MEETS
THE EYE."
(BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
Wellington, this clay. The "Evening Post" admits that Mr Richardson is well qualified to judge as to whether the proposed rabbit-proof fence on the Otago-Canterbury boundary will be of any practicable use, but fears that his visit trill be delayed until too late to be of any practicable good. It asserts that powerful influences are at work to prevent the erection of the fence at the present time as the erection of such a barricade would increase the value of the leases of the Canterbury runs now almost expiring. An increase in the value of the leases is just what, in the opinion of the " Post," the present lessees of mortgages are anxious to prevent, and if a fence is not erected now, a rise will not take place.
