COCKSFOOT ON THE ROADSIDE
TO THE EDITOB OJ- THE PBESS. Sir—ln reading through your columns lately about the letting of contracts for cutting cocksfoot on county roads, I would be very pleased if you would state if the owners of land are entitled to the seed facing their properties. Some misunderstanding at present exists about the owners' claim to seed, and some owners have refused to let contractors have seed.— Yours, etc., CONTRACTOR.
January 8, 1937. IThe rights in respect of roads were vested in town and city councils, road boards, and county councils, stated an official of the Lands Department when this letter was referred to him. The permission to cut cocksfoot on any roads, therefore, irrespective of the landowners adjacent, may be given to anyone the above bodies may choose.3
