DEPREDATIONS OF DEER.
ADMITTED BY DEPARTMENT. DEFINITE PLANS ANNOUNCED.* (By Telegraph.—Prese Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. At * meeting of the Wellington Acclimatisation Society last night a letter was received from the Department of Internal Affairs in reference to the depredations of deer. The Department stated that it realised the matter was one of greater urgency in some districts than in others, and it decided it -was essential that action should be taken as soon as possible in regard to the following districts: Ashburton, Buller, Southland, Otagq lakes district, Nelson, Westland, Waitaki, North Canterbury, Marlborough. With the exception of the Rotorua district, which would be dealt with by the several Departments concerned, it was not considered necessary ajt present to remove protection for deer in. the North Island, but warrants to cull or destroy deer would be issued to several acclimatisation societies. Under that authority acclimatisation societies would be able, not only to carry out the necessary thinning but, but to authorise persons to kill deer and to assist them in any matter where animals were a menace to property. . t ■
