Much amusement was caused at the latest meeting of the Wairoa County Council when some of the councillors described the way in which the settlers got their stock off the Nuhaka road before the ranger came along (relates ail exchange). There seems to be somo secret way in which each settler warned his neighbours further along the road of tho ranger's approach. The latter had even gone out before daylight, but even then he always arrived too late. It was decided in future -to take steps to sue all offenders instead of attempting to impound tlfeir beasts, a practioe. how successfully adopted by other councils, as councillors are determined to stop the dangerous practioe of allowing stock to stray on the main road at night.
