NET FISHING IN SURF
RESTRICTIONS SUGGESTED BY CORONER (New Zealand Press Association) INVERCARGILL, January 18. “Net fishing by amateurs has become a dangerous practice on the Southland coast and too many lives are being lost,” said the Coroner (Mr C. G. S. Sinclair), giving his verdict at the inquest in Invercargill to-day into the death of Kenneth William Anderson, aged 20, formerly of Wellington, who was drowned in the new river estuary last Sunday. “I would suggest that a lifebuoy with a rope should be taken out, or lifebelts worn by the men on the deep end particularly,” he said. "The deceased Anderson was not far out at the time of the tragedy and had some life-saving apparatus been handy his life could have been saved.”
