STRAYING STOCK
TO TUB BDITOB Of THE PRESS. Sir,—l quite agree with your correspondent "Clear Road" that the county councils are not doing their duty when they fail to prosecute owners of continually wandering stock. The Eyre County Council evidently has the same system as the Paparua Council, fining the unfortunate farmer who has a horse or cow stray by accident, but still allowing "herding" to go unchallenged by one or two individuals. Surely ratepayers (financial) are . entilled to some, protection.—Yours, etc., KNOCK OUT. September 7, 19155. [Mr A. Wells Newton, clerk-engineer to the Eyre County Council, stated, when this letter was submitted to him, that two rangers were employed , who reported monthly to the council, and the roads were therefore kept fairly clear; if ratepayers (financial), instead of writing anonymous letters to the newspapers, would write direct to the council stating the names of the offenders and offering to give evidence in the court, the council would: have a better chance of stopping the occasional so-called "herding" of the roads.]
